"The Hidden Jewel"

I was on the phone with my friend Tarsha the other day and trying to fill her in on all the exciting wedding news when she said I should start blogging--So, this is a way I can keep connected with my friends and family and I won't have to repeat all my stories 5 times a day!! So here I am...

I lead a pretty boring life but it's getting to be more exciting lately since I've started planning our wedding...

So far we have the date of October 11, 2009 (YAHOO!!! Not 2010). We chose this date because we both love the cool weather, the colors of Fall, and it's also a 3 day weekend (for all of us teachers). The location is at the Dell-Lea Country Club in Chichester, NH (right past Pittsfield). Nope, there is no website or pictures online...You'll have to wait until the BIG day to see "The Hidden Jewel"!

The visit to Del-Lea...
I had my friends Carin and Kathy head over with me one afternoon after school. I was trying not to get my hopes too high because I had already called about 25 places and visited 5 and hadn't found the perfect place.

I fell in love with it as I drove up the driveway. As we walked in, I knew it was the place I wanted to have my wedding. It's very rustic, "homey", and spacious enough for the large wedding we hope to have. Katrina answered every question I had about the place, including the fact that I can have my CANDY BUFFET!!! She showed us the backyard where we would get married. It was covered high in snow, but she pointed to a gazebo in the distance and an area where there is a waterfall come spring time!!! I can't wait to see it all decorated up this Fall!!

I dragged my mom and Josh over a few days later, they were both impressed and here we are with a venue and a set wedding date!! I'm so excited!!!!

Well, Those are the only details being revealed as of now...the bridal party is in the making and I may start dress shopping soon *YAY*!! I'll keep you all posted!!!
