After a minor melt-down last night regarding our wedding location, M finally emailed around and we are currently this close to having something nailed down. We are just waiting for a few more answers but we hope to have something booked TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m only slightly excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
I also closed on my townhouse today, YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a pretty painless experience. I would have preferred the buyer not to be there but oh well. M came to pick me up from work and take me to closing. I had decided that I would like to do something nice for the new owner since nothing was done for me. I grabbed a card, wrote a little note and then made M stop by the grocery on the way to closing. I picked up a bottle of champagne and we stopped by the house. I left the champagne, card and a couple of champagne flutes on the counter. We said good-bye to the house and were off to close. It only took about 10 minutes and we were done.
I am soooo excited that M and I have finally settled on a location and date. Currently the date we are looking at has a 4pm wedding time slot. I think this is pretty much the latest time you can get on almost all of the islands although I’ve heard rumors of a 5 pm ceremony but apparently those are saved for the super duper expensive wedding packages, which we will NOT be purchasing. Although my ideal would be around 6ish, I can deal with 4. The time was really the make or break deal. I know people do it but why oh why would you want to get married at 11 am? That boggles my mind. I’m not a huge fan of afternoon receptions but I can’t even fathom what you would do all day after that. Granted you could literally wear your dress all day. I think I prefer the drama of night, and well not being in the smoldering sun all day in a wedding dress.
Today has really been a good day so far and I am looking forward to booking our wedding. Since it seems to be a pretty big day I told M we should have a date night tonight. We go out but mostly we are with friends so it will be nice to have a “date” that is just us. Plus I think I could use a nice glass of wine 🙂
Cheers!
