Saturday

well saturday is almost over and i hate it. i wish it would always be saturday and greg and i wouldn't have to go to school or work!
plus: i didn't have to go to work today and it feels wierd. like a very long, nice weekend!!

so my parents came over to look at reception sites with us. we had three booked.
we started out with brunch which was surprisingly fantastic and then we viewed the TCU chapel which was perfect.
greg and i had previously viewed a venue called The Marquis on Magnolia
they had priced at $750 room rental rate for New Year's Eve
HAHAAHAHA
they decided that since it was New Year's Eve they'd move it up to the Saturday price: 2.500.
HA! That is lame. The venue is pretty nice, it's not elaborately beautiful. I think for 750 or even 1,000 it'd be worth it.
But 2,500. Yea. We could go to some really nice hotel or something for that money. Some place that was exquisite.
As soon as I heard that the price had jumped I went into shut down mode. I hate saying that. I mean, I heard everything that my mom and the lady were talking about and I thought about it and I didn't totally rule the Marquis out...but I pretty much moved it to the bottom of my list.

We then had an appt to visit the Ashton Hotel. Which we weren't greatly impressed with. No one was there to give us prices or anything, so it was really a waste of time. Bah.

THEN! We went to the City Club. Now I hate to be too exicted about a place b/c I think it's come back to haunt me. I fear my excitement would be jinxing it. But I really love it. As do my parents and Greg.
They had two rooms to choose from and all of us loved the Ballroom.
It's big with a great view of the city. Their pricing seems reasonable and for the service and aethestic appeal that you get, etc etc it seems well worth every penny. Their New Year's Eve price was extremely expensive but quickly decided that a day earlier wouldn't be horrible at all...Greg and I would be married December 30, 2008. So I suppose the City Club is something to think about more and dicuss more.
It wasn't my original vision at all...not at all...but I really think it might be perfect now.

I am not too fond of wedding planning right now.
