Planning has begun

The wedding planning has begun. We have been asking around for a few months about venues for the ceremony and reception. Originally we wanted an outside wedding. There wasn't many choices but did find one. It was amazing and beautiful but about 40 minutes away from here and also very expensive! So its on our list but I am all about budget so we started looking again. This time we are including churches and inside venues. Alot of churches just allow members to hold ceremonies there, including my very favorite one which I have dreamed about forever! I found a couple that don't. One was very overpriced so scratch that. One was almost perfect but will be under construction next year...go figure. And the rest haven't written me back yet. Ugh! So now moving on to reception. We have an appointment this Thursday at Stonebridge golf club, next Monday at Olde Oaks, and two more next week at Eastridge Country Club and the Hilton downtown. All in our price range! Yay! The only bad thing about having the reception at a place that does catering is you either have to have their caterers or you have to pay approximately $800 to bring your own food. Ridiculous if you ask me but whatever. So anyway wish us good luck!!
