WE DID IT!!(@&*%^!(&!!

I'm writing to you to explain how the "Proposal" went for our families!  IT WENT PERFECT!!  Everyone said Yes to the idea of getting married in Rehoboth Beach!!  I'm So freakin' excited!!  I can hardly wait!

(Taken by ANNNN of the Rehoboth Shore)

 

Venue Idea #1:

Indian River Live Saving Station

 

 

 Pros: 

• Outdoor Ceremony and Reception
• Private Beach
• Beauitful Scenary
• Holds lots of people (up to 250)

Cons:

• Outdoors only is risky for a May Wedding
• More Expensive than the other venues
• Have to bring in rental equipment
• Far from downtown Rehoboth (3 miles)

Venue Idea #2

Salero Restaurant

 

 

Pros:

• Inside for the reception in case of weather
• Can bring the Ceremony indoors if weather is bad
• Caterer, DJ, Equipment Included
• Nice view of the Ocean from the banquet hall
• Along the boardwalk
• Good Pricing

Cons:

• Doesn't include Baker (Cake)
• It's in a hotel
• Menu isn't as exceptional

If I had it my way, I would find a huge house for my family to stay in on the ocean and have it outside, then have the reception on the deck/inside.  It would obviously be warm, low-80's so it'll stay warm after the sun goes down, and everyone will get along PERFECTLY. :)

Obviously, that's not all necessarily going to happen, but I hope I can figure something out shortly!

Update! (Beach Wedding...??)

So, I've been thinking.  Have I not chosen a ceremony site/reception hall because I think I may be settling?  What if I were to get married at Lealon and I's most FAVORITE place??  We have both been known to love Rehoboth and decide spontaneously to drive 3 hours for a weekend.. Yep, that's us!  So, I've been fanangling with the idea and decided to run with it.  I'm going to make all the plans for it, before presenting it to our parents.  And when I say present, I mean, powerpoint, pamphlets, speeches, and more! :)

I would like to keep everyone informed, but I cannot do that until the presentation is given.  I don't know who has access to this blog yet, and to prevent anything from leaking, I will have to post it all later.

It is coming together rather nicely, though!  I have a venue and possible caterer, but I'm still awaiting prices to see if it's feasible.  I sure hope so!  I'd love to keep things within budget, if not cheaper with the places I've chosen!

Haven't Really Started...

So, between Biochem and the unbelievably hard GRE's, I haven't been able to do ANY wedding planning until now.  Now that both of those school tasks are complete I can concentrate on WEDDINGS! (Mine and Anna's!!)

As of right now all I have decided is:
Who: Lealon and I...duh. :)
Where: Pittsburgh
When: May 21, 2011
Photographer: Chelsey (Lee's cousin)
Maid Of Honor: Leila (My Sister)
Best Man: Dale (Friend from UPJ)

That's about it.  I don't know colors, bridesmaids, venues, food, DJ, indoor/outdoor, favors, my gown, bridesmaids gown, Tuxes.... ETC.

I'm going to plan a trip to Pittsburgh, specifically to go ceremony/reception hunting!  I would prefer to try and have it at the same place so it's convenient for the guests and the party;  but we'll have to see if that's available.  I would like an outdoor ceremony, but a wedding in May in Pittsburgh is a little sketchy.  The only way I'd do that is if there was an area to have the ceremony indoors if the weather is inhibiting us.  I also want to think about where the ceremony is relative to where our familes/friends live.  That way people can drive home, if need be.


I shall keep you posted with ideas and finalized plans!

Intro

Lee and I got engaged August 20, 2009.  He proposed to me while I was half asleep at 5:30 am before he left for work... hahahaha  It wasn't ideal, because then I was obviously so ECSTATIC and had to sit by myself because it was too damn early to call anyone!  [[ I love you, Lealon]]  It is the most beautiful piece of jewelry I've ever seen and I can't believe it's mine!

Anyway, that's the story about us.  More will be unraveled as time elapses.  I am new at blogging, but my intent is to create a place where I can write down my ideas, emotions, road bumps, etc.  A place where I can look back and relive my wedding planning.
