Yesterday was a busy day in the realm of planning my wedding. Brianna and I visited two places we were considering for the reception, both near the town that I grew up in.
One location was in a very beautiful, rustic barn that had been falling apart until it was rebuilt. It was a large space and the work of the wedding would be left to us. This comes with advantages and disadvantages: we'd be able to do things 100% our way and the space was essentially a blank slate but we'd have to come in the next day and clean up before 10:00am. We'd also have to set up either the day before or the morning of the wedding. We would also need to find a caterer.
The other location we visited at a local golf course and country club. It is located much closer to the local airport and hotels and other things that make it easier on people who might be coming in from far away. Everything is included in the price, including catering and a bar fee. It also includes the cake cutting, which is a preposterous fee that most places charge just to cut the wedding cake, a limousine, gardens, and the use of the top deck of the driving range. Ultimately, this option looked to be the best by far and we decided that we wanted to go with this one.
With both locations, there was one small, teensy-weensy problem: neither place had the date we had chosen (May 19th) available. The barn was only available in very early May or very late June, which were too early and too late, respectively. The country club was available for the next weekend (May 26th) which will also be memorial day weekend. Brianna's uncle agreed to officiate at the wedding (how convenient, since he is a priest!) Changing the date seemed like a good solution, so the wedding is on for May 26th! That's only a year and a day away!
