Location with Leeway

I was going to let Stephen write about finding out location and all that went on to get it since he really took care of it, and I even gave him my password to do it, but alas, I guess my communication wasn't clear enough.

We have a Location.

I suppose that is a very important thing. We weren't stressing, even though we only had about 3 months till the wedding date, we just trusted the Lord had it under control.

Sure enough we heard word from our pastor that the Church approved out wedding and we could have the downstairs chapel and cafeteria. Now it is not picture perfect, but it is free. And when we thought about it, the smaller area is really better suited for our wedding guest list since we would be dwarfed in the huge main chapel. We would fill maybe 15 of the 50 pews in the place.

The even more amazing thing is that they are like, "yeah you can decorate it however you want" (I am not sure they have any idea what they are getting themselves into).

Stephen and I went and looked at our future wedding local on a weekday free from church-goers and have decided upon an inexpensive and extremely time consuming way to decorate involving a ridiculous amount of paper and green. We shall see how that goes, but it'll be fun rounding up the families to decorate right?.....right?

It really is super exciting, and it's a good thing that in Korea things are done last minute or I might really be stressing over how we really have very little set in stone....like a caterer, or how much we'll pay our band, or if our pastor will be around for the wedding, or what shoes I'll wear, or were to get our flowers done. God thing God is on our side and knows exactly the perfect solutions to all our problems.

So my advice for a location? If you don't want to pay for the wedding halls (which are beautiful but want you to pay for make up for your husband...) then be flexible, and even the blandest location can be transformed with a little creativity.....at least I hope they can.
