The Wedding Planners

I kind of get Bridezillas. Kind of. Planning a wedding (on a budget) is not for the faint of heart. In the year and half that the Boy and I have been engaged I have gone back and forth from wanting a wedding to wanting to elope roughly 737 times. I don't think I am exaggerating. Sigh

I think, finally....finally...finally we have landed on having a wedding. All due to a little bed and breakfast just outside of town that has somehow managed to combine all important aspects of the wedding (according to The Boy and I) in one not very expensive, pretty package. 

Thank you White Garden Inn, you may have saved our marriage....

Just kidding, the Boy would have eventually given in to an elopement if I had thrown something like changing my last name as a bargaining chip. Thankfully, I can base the decision on name changing on desire and not desperation. 

Priorities:
-Fun party
-People we love
-Pretty atmosphere
-Good food, lots of wine, beer and champagne
-Stress-free environment

The White Garden Inn has a beautiful porch to dance on, lots of room outside for lawn games, pretty nooks and crannies to sit and mingle and connect in and five huge rooms to recover in when the evening is over. Fun party, check.

WGI will fit our entire wedding guest list, regardless of weather. People we love, check.

WGI is a B&B, a pretty house with a wrap around porch, lots of gardens and will let us decorate the place however we like. Pretty atmosphere, check.

WGI is letting us bring our own food (read: delicious) and our own alcohol (read: a lot) Good food, lots of wine, beer and champagne, check.

WGI is not your typical wedding venue, so we aren't restricted to doing any traditional wedding things that we might not want to do. And we will have the B&B the entire weekend so we don't have to feel stressed about decorating and tearing down, etc... Stress-free environment, check.

Everything is coming together and I can finally concentrate on making things happen. For me, making a decision has always been the hardest part. Once a decision is made on something no matter how big or small, getting the job done is always a breeze in comparison. It is so nice to finally work towards our actual wedding and not just the vision of it. The next six months will, I am sure, fly by. and I can't wait to celebrate marrying the Boy.
