We have a venue!
It's an old, gorgeous mansion in Brenham. It has a pretty outdoor setting for the ceremony, and the inside has rooms we can set up tables in for the reception.
I really love it, and so does Philip. It has the look I wanted, and it fits in our budget. I was really doubting we'd find something that met those criteria, but God is good!
So that's a HUGE thing checked off my To Do list. Leaving...let me check...75 things, according to my theknot.com checklist (which has been VERY helpful). The next big things will be booking a caterer and an officiant.
In the meantime, we have our honeymoon booked! Whoop! We will be going to St Maarten. We still have to get a few more details worked out--flights, etc.--but we have the resort reserved, so that's another big relief!
We also have our photographer! Philip is friends with a guy who is a professional photographer, so we got an amazing deal with him. In the next couple of months I'll be booking an appointment with him to go to Austin and get my bridal portraits made...so surreal!
Things are looking brighter as far as wedding planning. There's still so much to do, but between theknot.com and my Mindy Weiss Wedding Planner and Organizer, I'm hoping to stay on top of things so that I don't get too overwhelmed. I am feeling a lot less stressed than I was (although the stress dreams continue--the other night I had a dream that was just people I knew coming up to me and telling me I was fat. Good job, subconscious.)
March 28, 2015, here we come!
