This week/weekend I traveled back to Flint twice to visit several reception halls Mike and I were most interested in. It was a good week for me to do it because: 1.) I didn't have any exams and 2.) I needed to get behind the wheel again. And!! I got to see Mom, Dad and Chris! :D I was so happy, but it made me homesick. :( Anyway, reception hall hunting has already proven to be very stressful, mostly because it typically consumes 50% of your total budget, so you really learn what you can and can't afford during this process. Not to mention, you have to work fast because brides/grooms book so far in advance that even Mike and I have run into places we really liked that were already booked for our day.
I visited three halls on Wednesday by myself because Mike had to work, and then Saturday we visited two more together. I loved one of them I saw on Wednesday, but it was already booked for our day. We even considered moving the date back a week so that we could get it, but instead we fell in love with the second hall we visited on Saturday, which is the one I'll be calling tomorrow to book. Here are some piccys--tell me what you think! I'm so excited!! :D

:D Thank you! You'll get to sit with us at the head table. ;)
ok FINE...but at some point you might want to watch out for a little indian girl and her knee, and a cosmic miracle (namely, THE planet)
Haha, I think Mike might have beat you to the punch. ;) Don't worry, we're having an open bar so you can drown your sorrows away on my dime. ;)
Wow, that looks EXTRA fancy-cool!
Thanks! I'm hoping you and Allison will come and enjoy it with us! :D
ooo it looks so perfect!!
Thanks! :D
We willl!!!!
Yay! I'm so glad! :D It will be a blast, I promise. :)
Late commenting as usual, but it's so...pretty and fancy! I suspect if my guy and I get hitched at some point, we will have a backyard barbeque reception because we don't do pretty and fancy very well. :)
Lol, when we first started hunting for halls I think Mike even used the words "I'd like something kinda fancy." And I said something like "Fancy will cost you an addition $2,000." ;)
It looks GREAT Amanda! I can just see you guys coming down those stairs. I'm glad you found a place you love. :)
:D Thanks!! I'm excited for you to see it! :) XOXO
