Wedding stuff!

Maybe things will change, but for now, I have proven wrong those people who find planning weddings really stressful. There is a lot to think about, and a lot of planning to do, but if you give yourself enough time to look after booking things I don't see why it needs to be stressful! I think that Jay and I are doing well for staying within our costs as well as thinking of what needs to be done. I think currently our concern is hauling stuff out of the church on the night of the wedding. We have to get everything cleaned out of there after the wedding is over (hopefully by 1030pm), and it is going to be winter, so we are hoping to do it in ONE trip with 3 or 4 half ton trucks over to my parents house. We are hoping that we can leave the chairs at the church. We have to rent chairs and right now we are budgeting for 120 people, so that is 120 folding chairs! Pretty cumbersome! So we are hoping that we can maybe at least leave those at the church until Monday when we take them back to the rental place. But we will talk to the church soon about that. If we can't do that, we might look into renting a U-Haul trailer to haul them.

Oooooh we hired a photographer :) Went with Rachel Neville from Studio 5th Avenue! If anyone is looking for a wedding photographer, I recommend her. She is really passionate about photography, and her prices are a little lower than most. But just so you know, wedding photography is REALLY expensive. I had NO idea until we started looking into it. If you think you will hire a professional for less than $700, it probably isn't going to happen. I was pretty shocked to find it out, but I guess you just need to figure out what is important to you when determining the wedding budget!
