We spent today in Jefferson City, MO at Cris’ parents house. Her dad is in Seattle on business, but we spent the day with her mom visiting family and looking at a couple of possible wedding venues. One place we looked was the Governor’s Garden, which is just next to the Governor’s Mansion. It looked like a venue with a lot of potential, but they didn’t have any of the flowers planted. They’ve had a ton of rain lately, and they may have had to pull up the flowers to replant when it isn’t so wet. I still really liked the way the garden was set up even without the flowers. The bad thing about the garden is that you have to do everything in terms of setup and facilities yourself. Also, there isn’t any kind of alternative site close by in case of rain.
We also looked at the country club Cris’ parents belong to for a possible reception site. Its a pretty nice place, but there are a couple of concerns about that as well. Its a bit outside of town and may not be the easiest place for guests to find. We were also a little uncertain of the size and how well it would fit the number of guests we’re looking at having.
Tomorrow we’re going up to Columbia, MO to look at a couple of other venues and to talk to a photographer. We haven’t decided 100% that we’re having the wedding in MO, but if we do we’re pretty sure we want to use the photographer we’re meeting tomorrow. If things go well when we meet tomorrow, I’ll tell you more about them. I’ll also tell more about the venues we’re seeing tomorrow, one of which has probably peeked our interest the most in terms of a setting for a reception.
If I have time tomorrow when we get back, I’ll try to post pictures from today and what we see tomorrow.
I was told today that my narratives are a bit short. I’ve found that at the end of the day when I’m writing these posts I’m tired and my brain has a hard time trying to put together an interesting story for whoever reads this. So basically, I’m trying not to bore you guys. I hope I’m succeeding.
Hi mom!
