Wedding planning update

As most everyone knows we are in Greenville looking at venues. We went to one Sunday, one Monday and three Tuesday. The one on Sunday was kind of a last minute entry. It's called the Pond House and it was out in the middle of nowhere. It was really pretty but there were some things that we just didn't like. Monday we went to TimbeRock(see previous blog entry) and we ABSOLUTELY fell in love. The pictures I posted don't even come close to the real beauty of the facility. It is so beautiful and such a nice little setting. It has multiple ceremony area options and multiple reception areas too.  The bride and groom both have separate area to hang out at prior to the wedding (which we thought was pretty cool). 

On Tuesday we went to look at the Greer City Park and we were NOT impressed with it. I mean yes it was so beautiful but its very open to the public and we didn't really feel like we could have the privacy that we want for our big day. Not to mention the guy I originally emailed failed to mention ALL the extra fees and what not when he emailed me. We really didn't a good feeling from it. We then headed up to a place called Song Hill Reserve in Landrum. It was really, really, really out in the middle of NOWHERE!!! The people that showed it were really awesome people and it was pretty but again we didn't really get good vibes from the venue itself. The last place we went to was The Little Yellow House in Landrum(which was also previously mentioned in my blog) We could not look inside the house because someone was renting it this week but after looking at the outside area it was quickly ruled out. 

Sooooooo the point of the whole story is that we have decided that TimbeRock is the place for us. I cannot wait until everyone gets to see the place. We definitely know that it the place that we want to begin our journey as husband and wife and can't wait to share the day with our family and friends. 

On a side note, I also got to try on bridal gowns for the first time today. My mom and I went to David's Bridal in Columbia just so I could try on the Vera Wang dress that I love (also in a previous blog posting) and let me say it was WELL worth the drive lol. They say that the first dress you try on is usually "the one" Well that just might be true. I made it through without crying but it was close a few times, lol. I still have another appointment on Friday at another bridal shop.  Even though I'm in love with the dress I tried on today, I still have to give the other dresses a chance to WOW me like this one did. We managed to sneak a few photos of me in the dress so at least I can compare others to it and don't have to rely on memory alone.
