He is glad to be getting married but asking him to look at two cake samples and he acts as though you told him to bend over and cough. I love him, I do, I just worry that I might slap him a little in his sleep and deny knowing where the bruises came from in the morning. "I swear, I had this dream that you were hovering over me and gave me a whack on the arm!" "Oh sweetheart, that's silly! Now, could you take a peak at these two photos, do you want the white daisies or the pink?"
Outside of my fiancée's collapse in testosterone this weekend was very successful. We have learned more about our venue, prices and options.
Now I'm torn though, both venues are good in their own ways and a little lacking in luster in other ways.
Venue A Pros:
- Personal and sentimental in it's location
- 2 seconds walking from where we want our wedding photos to be taken
- Would only cost $1500 - $1800 and would include tent set up
- Would not be inside a building but would still remain away from the elements
Venue A Cons:
- The location lacks in beauty and is a bit more military than we ever could be.
- Not sure of how we'd hook up our sound system for walking down the aisle.
- There isn't really an..aisle to walk down.
Venue B Pros:
- It's gorgeous! Absolutely breathtaking! Stone steps leading down a grassy hill to a gazebo on a lake beach. GORGEOUS!
- It would cost $1000 for the wedding, $1500 for the wedding plus the booking of the additional room inside in case of rain. It'd be $2000 if I want them to take photos and $2500 with the extra room and photos. Considering the photographer would cost me $1200-$1500 that potentially saves me $500....if they take nice photos ;)
Venue B Cons:
- It holds no sentimental value to us what-so-ever
- It's a 27 minute drive from where we want to have our wedding photos taken.
- I'm not sure again how we'd hook up our sound system for walking down the stone path into the gazebo.
Compared to each other one is personal, one isn't. One is Gorgeous one isn't. As far as price goes they are tied but location not so much. It's tough. When I went to show him the photos of Venue B (he already is familiar with Venue A) he wanted nothing to do with it. Not with the venue mind you, with the pictures. He says, "As long as you're happy" and has the resolve that seeing any pictures would make him quite unhappy. So what is a girl to do? Bitch and moan and insist their fiancée look of course! I'll try him again in a few days. I still have more questions for the operators of said venues.
Past week one, your hippie bride! <3
