Deciding on our wedding date and venue was the hardest, most stressful, awful, painstaking...(are you getting an idea about how I feel regarding the subject? Writing this post makes my tummy churn a lil' bit) decision we've made thus far. My sweetheart (we'll call him Percy) and I were raised on opposite sides of the country, so that posed a huge hurdle in itself. Trying to find a weekend that could accommodate all travelers, holy moly!
When we were first engaged, the first date we thought of was October 10th, 2009 - it will be our 5 year anniversary AND it falls on a Saturday, how perfect!... WRONG! This is where it all began. After many heated discussions with Percy, we finally picked a weekend in June and told everyone to be there or send a nice present (I'm kidding on that last part of course ;).

Percy has been on the west coast for almost a decade now and most of his friends reside here. Given that, and the fact that all of my family and friends live here, we decided it would be best to have the wedding in WA. Percy's aunt and uncle (whom I love and adore) have a friend, Gloria, who graciously offered her place as our site - her gift to us.
I present to you, our wedding venue:
photos by meI can't even begin to thank her enough for being so generous to us! And guess what, Gloria has a pet wolf! To top it all off, since I can't really wear heels here, I'm gonna get me some cowboy boots and wear them for the wedding! This my sweetheart will love since he is a country boy at heart!
