And.. we have a date set :)

Hello people!

In my last post I talked about the bit of frustration we were having towards the property owner of the location where we wanted the wedding. Well, because of the weeks of back and forth confusion, her rudeness and lack of business ethic, as well as a very nasty email we received from her last week... We have decided to part ways with our Plymouth wedding idea. The place was beautiful, but the owner put so many restrictions and obviously had very limited experience in events and just was not worth the effort. We also were feeling uncomfortable in the fact of how we were being treated BEFORE we even put money down; who says she wouldn't act like this down the road, or cause major issues with our wedding??

Not worth it.

SO- We have moved onto bigger and more practical things. Literally in the last week of finally being fed up, we have found, views and fallen in love with a different location that not only is kinder on our wallets, but better fits our wedding plans. The owners rent the home out regularly for weddings, and actually our wedding is smaller than they're used to, so it's been extremely easy to lay out our plans and work with them. We have decided "this is the one," and already sent over a deposit. :)

The place is called, get this, "The Mansion in the Woods" and is located in Douglas, MA. You can see the place here.

Funny how things work out when you stop fighting and just let whatever is going to happen, happen. I do believe that this vacation home rental for the wedding is a great way to go for couples who do not want the typical wedding feeling. I'm not sure how easy this would be for larger weddings of over 100 people, but for us, it's perfect. I am happy with the ability to make my own decisions and not be limited to certain types of caterers, chair decorations, hours of dancing, ect. The only downside is dealing with difficult property owners, who are correct in wanting to protect their property but do it in a way that makes the couple feel like they're not worthy of the location. Luckily for us, we dealt with it but never signed anything or put any money down. And, were still able to find another location. :) Okay, my rant is done!

Soo... It's official: There are 413 days until we are married!

And the countdown begins...
