Going to check things out...

I know i said this yesterday, but we're soooooooooo close to making a decision! its killing me, i just wanna get it over with and move onto other things! haha.... i called the place to set up a visiting appointment and they didn't call back (its sunday and im pretty sure it was the woman's home number so thats to be expected) but if i dont hear back, ill probably call again tomorrow early afternoon cause i wanna see it on tuesday. and if it looks alright and has all the requirements necesarry... then we can book it and move onto djs! yay. ...and we have to pay our photographers deposit too, while we're at it. hee hee... but things are slowing falling in place...

One Step Closer...

Welp... we're one step closer to making a decision about a venue...  I think... its been a tough decision thus far for both of us, but I think we're almost there...  I hope...  Wedding planning is fun, dont get me wrong but my LEAST FAVORITE part of it, by far, is trying to find a freakin venue that suits our needs and our budget.  Its been the most stressful part.  Most definetly...  everything else has pretty much been a breeze, but the problem is that we cant book anything until we find a place to actually HOLD the event...  oh well... we should know by the end of the week... and then im off to nashville!! :)

I have HOW much time to book a reception hall?!

okay, so good news... i got hired for a short tour.

bad news... i have a week and a half to book a reception hall and possibly a caterer if we decided to go that route.

is emily a bit stressed? i think BIT is a bit of an understatement...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

i cant figure out which one of our possible scenarios is cheaper and my brain is about to call it quits.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Let the planning resume!

A friend of ours, Liz, gave me this amazing book... its called "bridal bargains"... its probably something that everyone and their mother already knows about but i read the first couple chapters of it and it's extremely helpful. i also found another dress that i have accidentally fallen in love with... although its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my price range... i still think its gorgeous :D hee hee like i said i still love the one i originally wanted, and im 99.9% thats the one im going to go with, but just for fun... here's both of them:

my dress (assuming i can get a hold of it):




















































































and now my new love:



Alas, THIS gown is like... $3000.... yikes.

So anyway, that's pretty much that as of right now... i havent really started PLANNING planning again... im gonna wait maybe a day or two before the phone calls commence because i have to take care of a few other things first.
