We Finally Have the Date Set, Except for One thing....

So we decided on Aug 22nd (mark your calendars) because it was the only date we could get for the reception place and we really, really, really like it! Okay, we LOVE it! (Thanks Mom & Dad!) Plus the people there are being super nice. We are still working on the church, which normally should be the main reason for setting the date but still having some issues. So if all else fails, we'll get hitched in a big field and have a party to celebrate! Can't get more redneck than that! But we have some AMAZING family members who have stepped in to help out with stuff and may have a band lined up (good job Mandy!) So now we just have to get the church thing settled, get me a dress, and do engagement pics, and pick invitations, and register, and mail invitations, and get a photographer.....okay so we are no where NEAR the finish line, but every little bit helps!

What to do....

So I have been a little busy lately and keep forgetting that I have this thing! So we have it down to the church and reception, now if we could get them to do what we exactly want:( The reception place is being unbelievably nice and willing to work stuff around us (sort of) but the church doesn't do evening ceremonies on Saturdays because "they have church on Sunday." I told the lady ten times that we were NOT having the reception there-just the ceremony. And she kept tell me that the latest they can book is 530. Well that works, except it will be August and a million degrees outside for the outdoor reception!!!! So now we have to decide on how to handle this. Plus the added stress on us about the date....but I don't even want to get into that. So now we have some serious brainstorming to do...but whatever it takes we WILL have our date set and our wedding booked by the end of the week (or within the 2 weeks it takes me to remember to post again!)
