The Venue

I know this has been a long hiatus, but pictures are FINALLY in my hands! For your first taste I will post pictures of our awesome venue. Let me just say the day, and the wedding couldn't have turned out more perfect. Our ceremony and reception was all held at the same place. My Uncle Don, and his wife Liz's house.

The space worked out really well. The caterers moved the table and chairs while we had a cocktail hour up on the deck and around the pool. My mom and Aunt Biggie decorated the arbor and we got the potted plants at McDonald's Garden Center.

The perfect wedding location???

So I have been STRUGGLING to find the right place to have my ceremony and reception. At least a place that is also budget friendly. Botanical gardens was my top pick but still not anywhere near cheap. I could forsee the headaches this search was bound to cause.

Luckily today I think I was given a lifesaver. Liz has told me that their new house in Linlear will be done by February and that I could have my wedding there. I still need to call her and make sure that it is okay and discuss everything but that would be PERFECT. I really hope it works out. Their lot is really big and pretty AND on the water. We could easily set up a tent for the reception and have the wedding ceremony closer to the water.

This makes me not only relieved but also more excited. I don't have to worry as much about date either with this free option. I am debating between May 22, June 5, or June 12. All are Saturdays. Not sure yet...
