As they always say....it's all about the location. It would only make sense to start there...I do need a physical space to have the wedding. I started looking on the Internet about a week ago and since then I have went to approximately 100 different website, some many times over. There are SO many venues just in Austin only, which sounds great but, really isn't. It's exhausting looking at all these places...and when I say looking...I mean looking at their websites. I have visited one place and have four more to visit this week. There are only a few things I am looking for:
-outside...not outside a building but outside in nature
-wildflowers and trees...the more the better...and possibly a river/creek
-lots of lights and lanterns
-maybe a pretty tent of some kind
-room for parking and 100-150 of my closest friends :) and lastly....
-A dance floor...because what's a party without dancing?
Seems reasonable enough...we'll see!
Wish me luck!
Until next time-

WELCOME
Well HELLO!
So if you haven't heard....I'm engaged!!! As of April 2nd 2010 Jason, as Beyonce sings, put a ring on it....my finger that is. I now have officially started my journey to putting a ring on his finger! As of today I have begun planning my...I mean our :)...BIG day!! We initially thought about flying away and coming back married but, very recently decided to NOT to do that. We are going to have an actual wedding and I am, surprisingly, excited! Let me explain-I was not the 10 year old girl planning her future wedding....never really gave it much thought at all. So lets just say...I have a lot to do. I have heard many horror stories about planning a wedding (there is even a whole reality series ie. Bridezilla) and have even had a few people tell me to elope....but I am determined to make this a fun (or at least entertaining) experience! I also plan to document it all...the good, the bad, and the ugly! I have been patientily waiting for a reason to create a blog....thank goodness I got one! This blog is for everyone to follow along with me as I, along with MANY others, create the wedding of a, or at least my, lifetime!!!Let the planning begin!
