March 3rd, 2008

Well, it has been an eventful few days to say the least! Friday I called the Lake Mary Events Center to make sure everything was set to book Monday. The lady said they'd still be taking reservations Monday but the city commissioners had passed a rate increase (this is the moment when I held my breath and my heart stopped beating). They raised their rates by 40% which was a huge increase and thus made the whole thing completely out of our budget. I did not take this very well, as you can imagine. I can safely say I had my first wedding-related emotional breakdown. I was so furious that they could raise their rates so much at just the drop of a hat and with absolutely no notice. Oh wait! they were planning on having a sign on the door to let everyone know. Nice place to do business with, huh?After I calmed down and regrouped, I started from scratch and began researching wedding venues again. Allan and I looked at wedding places all weekend and found one we really like. I'm not going to say the name yet, I don't want to jinx myself, but I'll assure you it is very nice. I have an appointment to book our date on Wednesday, so I'll be sure to let everyone know if I get it. Please keep your fingers crossed for me!! :)
