Extra! Extra! Read all about me

I've decided to try this again. I've gotten over feeling sick, so I'm better physically. I've been better emotionally too. :) I feel better mentally since Jeffrey and I have had a talk. I was very upset that we've been engaged for eight months (on the fourteenth) and nothing has changed. So we decided that since our prospective wedding day will be in october nine months from now its time to start planning. I made some calls today to some venues. I left a message with haak winery, but I don't think that we're gonna go there. I called Oakland again and left another message, and then I called the san jacinto monument. I wanted to get some pricing for there. I thought it would be beautiful to be married on the steps, and take pictures by the reflecting pool. No answer. I'm going to call them back tomorrow since I was able to find out who I need to talk to about that. I also called Tony, my youth pastor, and the minister who is goign to marry Jeffrey and I, and found out how much renting my church would be. So I'm pretty confident we can afford a wedding. :) Tonight I was watching Pretty Little Liars and oakland called me back FINALLY! I've been trying for months to get a hold of them. The woman told me their prices and what the package includes and its basically everything and its under 2k! If we go there all I will need to buy is a dress, our rings, the food for the ceremony, the cake, and our bouqets. Everything else is included. Not to mention its gorgeous, and its really close to home. We are scheduled to go tour the place sunday at 2 :D I'm so excited. Jeffrey is too. Tomorrow we are going to work on our guest list. We have speculated anywhere from 250 to 300, but thats a lot of people! I'm talking family, and our close friends. Not everyone from highschool and our parent's friends and guests. It would be different if they were paying for it, but they're not. I haven't broken the news to Jeffrey yet, but I want to keep it around 100. Everything will be cheaper with less guests. I don't care if I sound cheap. I hope to be cheap. The deposit at oakland is only 200 dollars. I won't have that on sunday though :( so if we decide on oakland then maybe she will have aheart and hold our date with out the deposit until I can get it to her. So in like february I'll need to start dress shopping. Thats an exciting/depressing thought. I'm excited. :D Theres so much to do. :D So much money to be spent :( lol! Other then that you guys haven't really missed much. I've just been sick and lying around. Working sometimes though. I'll see you kids tomorrow!

  1. Oakland is a beautiful venue, but windy since it's right on the water. My friends got married there in April and I was a bridesmaid. It really was super nice and such a beautiful wedding, even with the wind. The lady was really nice, so maybe she will try to help you out. Idk if they provide the DJ, but don't forget about that! Lol.
