Slight Change in Plans

So, I had been moving forward with the 11-26-11 idea (Saturday after Thanksgiving) until...well..TODAY! I had/have an appointment tomorrow to check out the factory, but I am moving in a slightly different direction. Lemme tell ya how my day rolled out..

My plan all week was to go to Ashton's this weekend..well..when I found out the only time I could go check out the Factory was this Saturday..so I cancelled. Today went on as planned. I went to practicum and met Brian for lunch. Before lunch I met his 2 office-mates and both were very sweet. We joked again that Brian's opinion didn't really matter, so I made a point to tell him at lunch that his opinion did in fact matter..and it mattered very much. Riding back to his office, we got to talking. The first thing he asked was if we could bump the date up to this summer...of which I laughed profusely because this is definitely NOT reality! He commented that he really wanted an outdoor wedding..DING (bell rang in my head)..That is exactly what I have always wanted, with a tent reception. Well, since we were planning for the end of November, I didn't think this was an option, so I blocked it out and looking back I see that is probably why I had so much trouble looking at all these other places, because they couldn't compare to my real dream. I am lucky enough to have found the perfect person to marry and it showed by us realizing that we want the same thing for our wedding. He then suggested having both the ceremony and reception at my cousins house (about an hour outside of Nashville and a place we both adore), so I kissed him good bye and said I would look into it. Wellllll..I did..I called my mom. Talked to her about an hour..Called my sister..same deal..all the little details started coming together on how this would just make things fall SO much easier and to our liking. After finally talking to my aunt/cousin, I got a green light! We are going there to check it out next Sunday and I couldn't be more thrilled. I am SO happy I can't explain it because I also always wanted to get married in October, but again, felt this just could not work..welllll..looks like we are just going to make it work! :-)

In other news, before our trip to The Factory (yes we are still going because I want to be able to compare prices), I booked an appointment at a little boutique to try on dresses! I know..its crazy! ME in a BRIDAL GOWN! Really...I can't imagine it. So I am quite nervous and since this is a very big deal, I am only taking my mom and sister. No worries.. I won't be buying a dress quite yet. In fact I am under strict rules that I am not allowed to get a dress until my BFF can come in town and go too...and of course my mom-in-law will have to join next time! :-)

Ok, off to review information before tomorrow's big day gets here!
