We have officially begun the wedding planning process!! I am so excited!
We went on our first venue tour this past Saturday and it was phenomenal! I loved it before we even got out of the car! It was a beautiful place. The staff was friendly. It is a family operated place and they seem like they are so willing to work with you. There are very few restrictions and did I mention it is gorgeous?! While walking around, it felt like someone had gone into my thoughts and built exactly what was in there. It SCREAMS rustic!
Mom, Dad, and Nancy went with us and they liked it as well. After Jesse and I had a moment alone, he also disclosed that he liked it too! I think he realized how much I loved it because he said we'd do whatever it takes to make it happen.
We sat down today and figured out a budget. We are going to have to juggle dates (for like the 3rd time) but I think we may be ready to make a decision. I know we should look at other places and we may look at one or two more but I am beyond sold and so is Jesse.
Budgeting was a bit of a challenge and I hope we can stick to it. A few things about budgeting:
1. A spreadsheets class from Schreiner paid off because I was able to create a wedding budget using excel.
2. Wedding budgeting is not as much fun as looking at wedding things online.
3. We WILL stick to the budget :)
I also am about ready to officially declare a wedding party! Jesse and I have discussed who we want and I am too excited to keep it to myself much longer! I've been working on a little project and am finished so it's only a matter of time before I spill the beans! It was a tough decision to make but we finally did it!
I guess that about wraps up the wedding commencement weekend! Now it's time to start spending that budgeted money !!
