Yeah, I suck at this
Jul. 22nd, 2004 04:29 pmSo it's only been . . . two months since my last post. I'm just not a journaler. But, considering the subject matter of that one, everyone can understand I've been busy lately.
And, I apologize in advance, but I imagine at least half the posts for the next 10 months will be wedding-related. Tune me out if you're not interested.
Yesterday I put down the deposit for the location, so at least the biggest thing is taken care of. And hiring a consultant has paid off - this place is normally $100/pp, but I'm paying $70. And because the owners actually know Rich's family, we got a bunch of free stuff thrown in. W00t!
Sadly, I looked at a whole three places before making this decision. I've heard of people going to 2 dozen. I'm either dumb or really lucky. But, Rich and I aren't good at real (non-internet) comparison shopping. When we bought our couch, we only went to one store. When we got our apartment, we only looked at two places. But we generally get pretty good deals on stuff - most people think our apartment is a steal for the area.
The plan is to get as much wedding planning as possible done in the next 6 weeks, before school starts. Because I don't want to deal with planning and school at the same time. I pointed this out to Rich last night when he said I was getting everything done pretty fast, and he clearly had forgotten about the school aspect.
