well it is true i officially have my wedding date, 21st september 2012, last week me and dave went to a church near me, st james, but i wasnt really feeling it so dave said we should have a look at his parish church, st marks, so today we went along and as soon as we walked in we knew that was the one, they had the alter decorations in, you guessed it, purple and they had alot of work done to the church, even underfloor heating, how awesome is that.... so we went to see about booking it and they have to date and it will be at 12 noon, it will cost quite alot of money but dave has just got a new job so he will be paying for the church which will include the main wedding bits and the organ, choir, bells, flowers and a recording licence so we are going all out for the ceremony but as we only plan on doing it once we dont mind.
a few weeks ago we went to look at the quality hotel which was really nice, they do a package deal for a weekday, at £1500 that includes a wedding night in the bridal suite, rental of the reception room, use of the conservatory for the arrival drinks and between the wedding breakfast and the evening reception as they dress the room for us, then it includes wedding breakfast for 40 guests (which is ok for us as we are not having too many people coming anyway) and evening buffet for 80 guests, we can add more people to this obvously at a cost but that will all be sorted later, we also get the hire of a toast master, but my only problem with a toast master is the ones i have seen all wear red and to me that looks more like a ring master at the circus, so we will see if there is anyway of them wearing black or something.
I also had some thoughts today about how i could decorate the room without it beeing too over the top so i thought as i said previously i was going to decorate my centerpieces with die-cut butterflies well i could do some of these in a tissue paper and attatch to the string of the balloons and snaking up the wall if i am aloud.
all we have to do now is go back to church next sunday to pay our deposit for that and i will be ringing vicky at the hotel tomorow to set a day in the week to go down with my mom and dave to see one of the tables set up to how they would set it, take some measurements of tables and a few other things, then me and dave will have a talk with vicky to see what we will actually be getting food wise and see what we can add or take away then makesure we have the contract and pay the deposit there too, they said that if we booked it now and were signing a contract even if the price goes up, (which it probably will as there is like 2 and a half years to go) then they will still honor the price as of now.
