LO-CAL
Let me start by saying: Summer School....that's who you can blame for my lack of posting.
Now that that's out of the way on to what I promised LONG ago...more details!!
We have choose to have our Wedding Weekend Getaway at...drum role please.....
Hummingbird House. It is everything I was looking for and more!! It has a river, it has lots of lights and lanterns, it has pretty tent, BOY does it have flowers and trees, it has a dance floor, and plenty of room for all our guest! Oh and, of course, it is outside!
It's in South Austin, close to your house, and just perfect! We will have the entire place from Friday at noon to Sunday at midnight and yes, we plan to use all of our time! Danny, the owner, is just great and I think we are going to work together just fine.
Now that we have a date AND a location I couldn't be more pumped!!
If you want to look around the place here's the website: http://www.hummingbirdhouse.info/

My Vision
Well I have to admit I have not done much on the wedding front recently. I have been pre-occupied with things like work and 3 day weekends BUT I am attempting to get back on track! This weekend we are going to be a part of my dear friend Brittany's wedding and I plan to take notes.
I have been talking to many people lately about their own wedding or wedding experiences they have been a part of and I have heard all kind of things! It got me thinking about what exactly I want out of my wedding and, even more, what I want people to remember about it. The answer I came up with is that I don't want a wedding day, I want a weekend. Yes, I know I am an only child and want it all...but hear me out!I don't want the day to be all about me, I want it to be a celebration of us and our wonderful friends and family. I have quickly realized that A LOT of money and energy go into creating a wedding and I want to make sure everyones hardwork and contributions are worth it!! So here's my vision: A stress-free getaway for every special person in our lives to come together, celebrate, love, and enjoy each other! It will not simply be a wedding but a great opportunity to have everyone together for a momentous occasion!
Location update: I think we found a winner but we have a few more places to look at. I want to pick an official date by the end of June.
Happy Wednesday,
Amber

Location, Location, Location
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!
