As many of you know-I had to have last-minute back surgery. Blake and I decided to focus on house searching and put the wedding on hold. Well-we put in an offer on a townhouse in McHenry. It is a short sale-so we haven't heard anything yet! And surgery was last Thursday and VERY successful- I thank God everyday. So it's time to start.
We are aiming for either June 10th or 17th in 2011. Both Friday evenings...we save a little money this way :) We have a rough draft of a guest list with a smaller wedding of 175. We found a hotel in Mundelein that we both adored-but we aren't going to be suckers and not look elsewhere. I'm hoping to get my drivers to take me to a few places on the weekends. A few ideas include the following: The Concord, Chevy Chase, The Arboretum in Buffalo Grove, etc. Please send any suggestions our way!
We also have a DJ in mind already! It's a really close friend of the family. We are going to go hear him play soon to confirm the deal!
We have one idea for a photographer-but we are open to anyone else! Please share your idea!
Thanks for following our journey-we are very excited to share this experience with all!
xoxo
P.S. Don't forget to share your advice on our last post!

ReplyDeleteI'm just going forward with wedding planning and I don't like it :(
I will check out all that information for sure. My dad stays at that hotel when he comes to visit. It's beautiful. Thanks for the help!
