Silk Orchids…I saw these today. Couldn’t even tell they were fake until I touched them. Real for the bouquets and fake for centerpieces and decorating. Yay for saving money.
Robert Paine Scripps Seaside Forum…
June 29, 2013 is the official date. 1 year and 4 months away. Not too bad. Hopefully, that “June Gloom” will be gone by the end of June!! But on a more positive note, I love gloomy overcast weather. So as long as it doesn’t rain I’ll be happy!!
Wedding Venue #2 - Robert Paine Scripps Seaside Forum
I love this place. Clear winner! Need to book a date like NOW.
Wedding Venue #1 - Paradise Point
Pros
- Hotel Accomodations, place to get ready, place to crash, place to put the dogs after the ceremony
- Love the cocktail hour patio
- Stations/Tray passed appetizers
- Nice ceremony location
- Beautiful tropical setting, really good for pictures
- Pet friendly
Cons
- Price
- Nice reception area, but I’ve seen better
I reallllyyy want to walk down the isle to this song. I’ve been looking at string quartets and a lot of them do special requests for a nominal fee. The fee isn’t too bad though, it’s actually hiring them to play is whats expensive.
Venues
Looking at 3 venues this weekend.
Fri 2/24 Paradise Point - not too interested in this one, the wedding will turn into a regular traditional hotel wedding if we have it here. this will probably be a last resort, unless I see something during the site visit I haven’t seen in pictures.
Sat 2/25 Robert Paine Scripps Seaside Forum - number one option so far. love the reception setup that I’ve seen in pictures. hopefully its as beautiful as they make it look in the pictures.
Sun 2/26 Grand Tradition - it’s in fallbrook, so ehhh.. this is second though because its so pretty in the pictures. The only reason I want it here is because it would be a tent reception.
Another place I want to look at is the US Grant. It’s a hotel but its SO nice that I would sacrifice a non-traditional reception for a traditional one. haha…
I want this. It looks fun :)
Wedding Flowers? Maybe.
My fat fingers totally ruin the ring. Which is why I will not show my fingers and the ring together. hahahah Oh and if you’re wondering where the light is coming from, the box came with the light. Pretty cool.
2/11/12
I finally have something important to blog about…I’m engaged!!
FINALLY. It happened. OMG it freaking happened. I never really understood when people would always say, “It was worth the wait,” but now I totally get it!! because yeah, it was SO worth the wait. and it was perfect. The way he did it, where he did it, what he said, the ring…. and pudgie was there too. I’m just so happy, it was honestly the happiest moment of my life :)
