Labor Day Weekend 2009

Well Beej and I drove down to Mt. Olive, NC from PA to work on getting some wedding venues booked and to look at various vendors.  Everything is working out awesomely today.  It's hard planning a wedding to begin with but we are doing it from out of town.  Beej's sister-in-law Karen has been doing all of the leg work and using her contacts to help us out.  First, we went to see the chapel and reception hall that she had suggested and guess what.  It was perfect!!!  We booked it and paid the deposit on the spot.  The best part is that it's directly accross the street from the hotel.  How sweet is that!!!  Second, we went to the bakery that again Karen suggested and they had what we wanted.  We locked in the date as well and will schedule a consultation.  We also took a look at the Hotel and it is brand new and couldn't be located any better.  I believe our guests will be happy.  We also talked to the caterer and have him booked as well.  We will discuss more of the menu and selections later on but they are ready to go.  We had all of this done by 3:00pm and were able to enjoy a nice dinner with the family.  Tomorrow we have to look at florists and at dj's for some cool tunes.  After this, we will have gotten done what we wanted this weekend and will be able to enjoy the rest of the weekend and have fun.  Sunday we have pre-marital counseling with the Pastor that is going to marry us.  We will have the second half of the counseling on a later date.  This wedding is coming together nicely.
