"location, location, location"

this is the third chapter in
the wedding keepsake book.
stay with me everyone! lol!
i know it's a lot of jumping around!



the chapter consists of a pros and cons list
for the type of wedding you want, such
as: outside, destination, or even at your home!

there are also questions to guide you
through choosing a ceremony and
reception site, as well as
a walk-through checklist for jotting notes.


ceremony

it was very easy for me to decide.
i had always known i wanted to get
married outdoors and lucky me, my hubs agreed.
but this was probably the most stress
i had on the planning front. because the ceremony
site i had my sights on was already booked.
my husband and i scoured the city for a place
that was something i would love and was outdoors.

we got lucky and my husband found that
the place literally across from the
original spot was available. so we
booked it quick! and it was perfect-o!

it rained the morning of our wedding
and i'm not going to lie, i freaked!
but when it came time to say
our vows, the clouds parted and the sun came
out to say hello! i'm so thankful!
lol! [read my older blog about rain

reception

it was also very easy for me to
decide on the reception site, in the town
we live in, weddings are typically
held in the same place. i knew i
wanted to break that 'tradition'. mind
you, we don't even live in a
very small town...

i don't remember how many venues
we looked at, but i knew i
found the right one when i saw it.
it was very pricey and my
husband's mom was telling us that
she didn't think it was attainable.
everyone was shooting us down
about the place, my dream place, which is ironic
considering chris and i did book the
venue and paid for it ourselves!

i only hope to get married once
in life. so, this wedding was the big one.
told my hubs, go big or go home. lol!
