Since we tackled the photographer, we are moving onto Save The Dates!!
I found some inspiration online and designed one for us! We are ordering some samples and then will place a real order :) We will definitely have to hold onto them for a while but I'm super excited to see the samples and how they turn out! I'll have to try to keep them a secret until we send them out!!
This also means we will have to buckle down on the guestlist and finish getting that in order :\ I think that will be one of the most challenging parts of the planning process. How are you supposed to decide where to cut off the list?! Wish we could invite everyone and anyone but unfortunately, we will have to narrow it down.

Bowling Pics? Yes Please :)
Had some more pictures taken and decided since we both love to bowl and usually end up there for anniversary date nights that it would be the perfect place to take them! :)

More Photog Options
We met with two more photographers last Monday :)
The two we met with are both Austin based. One was a photography company. They have several photographers and we'd be matched with one. They have beautiful photos but we don't think they were very personable and for the money, we could get more somewhere else. The second photographer was a team of bride-to-be and fiancé. We really liked her and her photos are pretty good. We are leaning towards her right now but have at least one more appointment in July :)

Wedding Photographer Option #1
We had a meeting with a photographer today!
It always makes me a little nervous to go meet with wedding vendors, maybe because I want to like them all so bad and don't want to be disappointed. I told Jesse before we got to our meeting that I was nervous and hoped it went well. It did!!
She was very nice and we loved her personality. She seemed very interested in us as a couple and we felt like she would be wonderful to work with; after all, the photographer will be with us the majority of the day and will be following us around. She is young and fun and seemed like she was genuinely interested in whatever kind of shots we would want. She said she does all kinds of shots from traditional posey shots to fun, creative, detail shots. We looked online and like her photos pretty well. She has offered us a good deal if we decide to book with her that would include an engagement session, bridal portraits, and full day wedding coverage. We would also get all of the rights and CD's with the photos to print them wherever we want.
We are still going to meet with a few others before deciding but she is definitely going to be hard to beat!

Jesse's Masterpiece!
After we booked Texas Old Town, we were emailed a floor plan with measurements for the space, tables, etc. Dad came up with the idea to create a larger model of the space so we could move the tables around and make it look how we want.
Yesterday Jesse and I went and bought index cards, a magnetic dry erase board, and a roll of magnets to make one! Jesse used his math skills to make it to scale. He drew out the space and then made little tables for me to cut out and put magnets on. Now we have an AWESOME mock-up of the venue hall and it's all thanks to my whiz of a man, Jesse Austin!!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!
WE HAVE A WEDDING DATE :)
We went today to take a second look at Texas Old Town and signed a contract! We will be having our ceremony and reception (with dinner and dancing) on FEBRUARY 22, 2013! 642 days to go :) In 21 months I will marry my best friend!!
Ceremony site :)
Reception area! This picture just does not do it justice!
Our names will be on this sign :)
We had an amazing day! On the way home, we stopped at a nursery and found this guy! He is our color inspiration and it was too cool that we stumbled upon him the day we booked our venue!

Venue Tour #2
We went to tour a second venue today! Boulder Springs in New Braunfels. It was absolutely beautiful! It is very similar to venue #1 except that it has a rock-wood combo going on whereas the first was just wood. It also just has one ceremony & reception site because it is a newer place.
After talking things over with Jesse, we decided Texas Old Town was still number one on our list. Both are so beautiful but Texas Old Town has more of a rustic feel. It just felt right there. As soon as we pulled up to the place, I said "Jesse, I want to get married here." At Boulder Springs, it was more a reaction of "it's pretty but not THE place." We are hoping to go look at one other place in Boerne in the next week before we decide for sure but Texas Old Town is the venue to beat!!
