Easy we thought, we'll just find that private property we've been day dreaming about, book it and then start planning our way to wedded bliss. Right? Not so fast. We officially started planning before we were officially engaged and man oh man are we glad we did! It took us four long, stressful and at times, tearful months. And then one day it just happened, I found another property on www.vrbo.com, sent another email, called another number. The phone rang, I tried to stay calm as I asked my questions and the craziest thing happened-he didn't hang up, he didn't didn't sound confused. In fact, he said yes!
Yes we could rent his hand built lodge on a private island on the most breathtaking lake in New Hampshire. Yes we could stay for a week and have our wedding there. Yes we could decorate it however we wanted. Yes it came with boats annd it had electricity and running water (uh, we looked at a few places that didn't have these things). Best of all we could see it in two weeks when we would be in MA for my cousins wedding.
The day was horrible, sideways rain, heavy fog and only about 38 degrees. We ignored the weather, got in the car and drove the hour and a half to the meeting location and where thrilled to find him at the dock.
An hour later we were soaked, freezing and back in the car driving away with huge smiles on our faces.
How did your venue search go? Was it the first place you set eyes on or did you spend weeks searching for the perfect tree for the ceremony, the church that your grandparents were married at or the perfect country club?
