Decisions, Decisions

     Don't get to excited we haven't decided on a date yet. We have however decided on a few things. We have decided we want something small, in wedding terms "intimate"  but filled with great food, cold drinks and lots of dancing! Also something outside. (Living where I do there is pah-lenty of options for that!) And of course, something affordable!! Outdoor weddings can be very expensive in Southern California though so, the smaller the better!  We're also thinking black and white with hints of red. These may not be the biggest of decisions, but they definitely help when considering a venue. Trust me on this one because so much goes into picking a venue it'll make you crazy! Is there a sound system for the officiant? What about for the bridal march and recession? Are there cake cutting fees? Is alcohol provided or do I BYOB? Will there be a day of coordinator to keep things moving along? How bout a room for the Bride to get ready in? Is there time included for picture taking or is that an additional cost?  See? That's just the tip of the iceberg, the questions go on forever!  I could keep going but really, who wants to read all that? Not even me, really!  This is just the beginning, so it's exciting when we decide something- small as it may be.
     Besides I'll take all the easy ones while I can- it's going to be a helluva time picking a dress!
