Wedding Update Part 3

We're getting closer to choosing a location and date. Gia, Carla and their mother Josephine did some site visits on Monday while in Santa Cruz. They liked two of the places we had on our list and we are in the midst of choosing one of them, hopefully soon. I won't reveal all the info just yet, but both are essentially retreat centers that will accomodate all the elements we are looking for. We're looking forward to a full weekend of activities in either the 2nd or 3rd weekend of October. Stay in touch!

Wedding Update Part 2

Gia and I spent a rainy Tuesday looking at wedding venue sites in the Santa Cruz/Aptos area. Each of them are different and we are yet to make the big decision. We're hoping to go down and do more site visits the week after next.

For me, this feels like one of the biggest decisions as it will effect so many other factors from vendors to which city we will end up in to the overall cost. We are getting a bit anxious but not too worried quite yet, as our wedding plans are tentatively set for October, we have over 8 months.

I'm excited that we have secured a tentative church and priest which was my first choice. This could be changed, however, if we don't settle on a ceremony venue in Santa Cruz.

We are going to be cashing in some favors and are asking some friends/family to share their skills like photography, singing, decorating and DJ'ing.

P.S. Who said orange was a bad color for October?
