I had always kinda thought that I wanted my wedding at the Tuscany but it seemed a little out of our price range so in the beginning, James and I had decided on The Woods on Ninth as the place for our ceremony and reception. We put the deposit down to reserve our day. After a few days of doing more wedding research about traditions and other things included in a wedding, I started having second thoughts about the place and I really regretted just making a rash decision about choosing them. I really wished that I had reserved the Tuscany instead. I felt kinda sad that I chose the Woods. So the next day, I was feeling upset about the whole thing and I checked my email like I do everyday and I got an email from the Tuscany telling me about their facility and everything they can do for a wedding. I wanted to cry. I was so upset. I told James that I was having second thoughts and he was so mean to me. I cried when I got off the phone. He was annoyed that I had changed my mind. He gave in and agreed to look at the Tuscany with me. I called them and made an appt to go in. My mom and Julie and the two of us went this last Saturday. We put another deposit down for our day and I got my way.

Our wedding will be June 15 at the Tuscany. Yay!!! It's so beautiful there. The place is already decorated so that will save money on doing them. The only thing I think I'll do is have my own centerpieces. We have the whole restaurant to ourselves until 4 that day. We're having a 2 entree lunch buffet with a salad fruit platter and chocolate cake. I'm going to get a small wedding cake just for us to have and then have the guests eat the chocolate cake since it comes with the buffet....less money. I am doing the all inclusive package where they take care of the flowers and stuff like that...I just have to take a picture of what I want and they'll arrange with their vendors to get it and I'll just pay what they get it for. It probably will be more money but so much easier on me! Wedding planning is kicking my butt. A few less things that I have to worry about will help me out a ton.

I decided on invitations finally. Now I just have to get a list of who is coming so I know how many to get. I just wish the wedding was here already so I can get it done and over with. A girl that we went to high school with is a hairdresser and she offered to do mine and my bridesmaids hair with a trial run. Amber will be my maid of honor and then Miranda will be a bridesmaid. I don't know if I'm going to have a flower girl and ring bearer. I think it's cuter when the kids are younger and Katie is the youngest in the family and I would have Jared carry the rings but it seems like they're too old. Katie is dying to be my flower girl. I don't know. I have to think about it. Ah I'm so burned out on wedding stuff.
