Possible venue

So me (B) and our groomsman went to the Ramona Pavilion. It's beautiful! The outdoor ceremony site is set in front of a lake, all these trees are around. The reception would be indoors, the inside is all wood. The beams are huge and add so much character to the building.

I'm in love with this place and I really hope we can swing the budget.

Wanted to show everyone my Engagement ring. I picked out the pearl. At Walt Disney World they have places where you can pick an oyster and get a Pearl.

Ceremony and Reception

Well we have decided to have a small ceremony and a large reception.

We want to have our ceremony at 11am and an evening reception.

We are going to start calling places this week, school has been my top priority these past few weeks.

We are looking for an outdoor venue that has lots of trees

Bride books

I went to our local library a couple days ago and picked up some wedding books. I left 4 of them, lol

I found this book very helpful and gave me some great ideas.
How to buy everything for your wedding on eBay-- and save a fortune! by: Prince, Dennis L.

I plan on getting alot of our things (decor, flowers, ect...) from Ebay now.

I also found a book from The Knot, The Knot ultimate wedding planner : worksheets, checklists, etiquette, calendars & answers to frequently asked questions by: Roney, Carley.

They have SO MANY checklists in this book, I plan on copying a ton from this book.

If anyone else wants to add any to the list please let me know

Wedding Venue

We are finding it nearly impossible to find a venue that we like, in our budget, and big enough for all of our guests.

We are throwing around the idea of having an intimate ceremony and a huge reception.

All our wedding plans have come to a halt because we need a venue before anything else can be done.

Any other couples having issues like this????

Trying to live together

So we both live with our families right now, I live with my mom and brother (my dad passed away last year) and he lives with his parents and brother. We will occasionally stay over at each others house.

I knew he snored but last night when I stayed over at his house he was snoring the worst he ever has and I saw EVERY HOUR pass on the clock. I'm a light sleeper so I know that doesn't help matters, but I don't know how to deal with the snoring.

We are preparing to live together in 5 months or so and I'm not looking forward to the snoring every night.

I slept on the couch for a while last night but missed the bed.

I would love some suggestions from anyone to combat the snoring.

Thanks B

Our first post

Hi!

My Name is Beth, my Fiancés name is Russell.

We wanted to start a blog to capture us starting our lives together.

We got engaged on December 26th 2011, that was definitely the high of my year.

2011 was a very hard year for my family, while I was out of town doing my internship for my culinary degree, my Father had a massive heart-attack and didn't survive.

I will be graduating this may with my Associates of Science degree and we will be moving 3 hours away from home because my internship turned into a full time job.

This blog will chronicle our journey from engaged couple to married life.
