Reception Site!!!

Okay so I finally after calling 31 places found a place that had my date available, but it is not the greatest. I am posting pictures becuase I am pretty bummed about it and I thought maybe there were some decorators out there who might have soem suggestions. I mena I spoke with my mom and sister and sent them the pictures, and they think it is okay. I knwo right now it is jsut a raw space and once the cake is brought in and everythign is decorated it will look great, it jsut isn’t turnign out to be the weddign of my dreams, but oh well. I love him and I am ready to be Mrs. Watters!!! ha ha, isn’t that crazy!!! That is going to take some time to sink in. I have had my name for 26 (27 on Sunday!!! Whooo hoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!) years, so nothign is going to sound right to me I guess!!!! Anyways it is more about the marriage than the wedding, the wedding is simply the time to state before God and family and friends that youa re committed, in my opinion. And hey the church is beautiful so it can’t all be perfect!!!!!!!!

It is just liek a really huge house!! The lady seems to think it can hold 200 but I think that is pushing it. If the weather is nice we are going to set up a pavillion and do it like half inside half outside, btu if the weather is bad then we will all be inside. The way I see it everyonewill not come anyway!!!

Here is the shot form the outside!

First half of the “grandballroom” (they called it that not me!!!)

Second half of the “grand ballroom” (it is split by a half wall with a fireplace in it):

The kitchen!! My caterer is going to0 be mad at me, but hey for $1,000 he better deal with it!!!!The only real complaint I have is that it is not closed off or anything!!!

Entryway: where we are going to have the registry book and the gift table:

Dinning room, off the kitchen, where we are going to have the buffet set up and the cake!!!

And now the worst part, well nto the house but the fact that we have to do it this way. The back patio which will have to be our dance floor, if we end up havign the entire thing inside. If we do an outside, then we will definitly rent a dance floor!!!

So that is it!!!!!!!!!! No matter what, i am going to make the best of it!!!!!! I am still really bummed about loosing my original space because it was perfect!!!!!!!! btu this is what I have so this is what we will work with!!!!!!!!!!!Wish me luck!!!

    I have no doubt that you will make it absolutely beautiful! There is nothing wrong with it. We had our reception at a firehall!! We decorated, covered up the Bingo signs (I am not kidding), and had the best time of our lives. Our guests didn’t care one bit and it was a damn fine party if I do say so myself. It will be fantastic, I promise!

    Toni — The reception is all about you and celebrating your marriage. You will be able to make this place beautiful no matter what…

    I know you want your wedding and reception to be perfect, and I hope they are, but don’t lose sight of it being just the beginning of your new life. You can make this place look beautiful. What people will remember about your wedding is YOU and how beautiful you are. Everything else is just to enhance you. Trust me on this one. I had 6 roses and my bouquet for decorations and people still talk about how lovely the wedding was after 12 years.
