B and I drove out to our prospective wedding locations this morning. The first place is way out away from town in a heavily wooded park. It's a huge park and there are plenty of good and private spots for our handfasting. We then drove to another pretty park with lots of good tree coverage but there were too few shelters in the probable chance that we will have rain in April.
Did I mention already that we are going with April instead of March?
Anyway - so after looking around today, we have decided on the first big park. They have a very private and perfect area where we can have an actual fire and not be a spectacle to other park users. The reception will be held in the brand new, beautiful lodge onsite. It has all wood paneling on the interior and vaulted ceilings. It's very rustic and cozy but still new, clean and very comfy. There's a kitchen there and it's perfect!
So now I reserve all of that and pay the deposits and fees. B is giving me $ toward everything too, but it's still tough to get money together with 10 children total together. LOL We're going to have to keep this simple and pretty and be happy with it and I think we're both in agreement that we will be VERY happy to do it this way!
There are wooden benches all around the fire bowl at the park, and if it's not pouring down rain, people will be able to sit comfortably and enjoy. If it's raining I figure we will just move the handfasting into the lodge and do it there without the fire. Either way works for us!
So I'm getting excited now. I still have tons of things to do but I'm making good progress! :)

I am SO excited! Thank you for reminding me that simple and cheap is GOOD. I keep finding myself trying to get caught up in worrying too much about what people attending might expect. I need to remember this is for US!!
