Venue - update?

Well. I can't really think now what I was going to write in this because I've been drafting and rewriting this so many times. I go to finish it and we change our minds. This has been so hard and I'm getting over it rather quickly. I believe Grant is also getting hoha with having the same conversation over and over and over and over...

*sigh*

So I'm just gonna post it up there.


Basically I created the Mother of all Spreadsheets to compare venues throughout Wellington, including (but not limited to):

• Erskine
• Wellesley Boutique Hotel
• The Pines
• Tussock
• Boatshed
• Dockside
• various other hotels in Wellington

because that's what Grant said he wanted. Then we were going to compare them all, pick one and run with it. But we didn't. We picked 3-4 and tried to compare them further, which is very difficult when they all include different stuff in them.
And then I mentioned to Mum and Dad one night on the phone that maybe we should just have it at their place and hire a marquee and stuff. Which could end up being the same price if not more expensive, and runs the risk of rain, sheep poo and apocalyptic fights between us'ns and parentals.

Eugh.

Now what? Well, know I wait calmly for Stacey to come over this weekend (YAY!!!) with brochures from the Wellington Wedding Show she and Sheree (and apparently James - hmmmm?) went to and I'll pore over them. Also, Mother and Teia will be meeting with Erskine people as soon as poss to have a look at that. And maybe sometime soon we'll actually have a venue, and therefore a date.

oml. Sometimes I forget we're actually getting married; that's it's more than a wedding or a party, it's me and Grant being together forever. That in itself is somewhat scary (because forever is a loooooong time and sometimes we make each other very grumpy-faced) and also really exciting (because forever is a long time and he makes me laugh heaps!).

I think I'm getting sleepy.

*love love love love love*
Kiwa.
