For those of you who haven't heard.. I have changed my location for my ceremony/reception. I know what you are all thinking.. "But, I thought you were set on Thanksgiving Point?" Well, we were. 100% set on it. So set we gave Thanksgiving Point a deposit and everything. All the planning was going fine, but I just had this feeling like it wasn't what I wanted. Something about it kept me from being that super happy bride I thought I should be. Then I started adding up the cost for everything, and the price I saw just wasn't worth it to me. Yes, Thanksgiving Point would have been beautiful! So lovely! Every girls dream! But, is that amount of money really worth it? Just for one day? I keep telling Brandon that I would be happy going to the court house in Provo to get married and then hitting up ABG's afterward. :)
So, anyway this week I have been looking at other venues. I found so many nice places. And at HALF the price! YaaHoo! I called around, got info, looked at pictures.. and finally I settled on The Bungalow in Pleasant Grove. Ah! A breath of fresh air! It is exactly what I am looking for! Mom, Halsie and I went there this morning. I think I was smiling from ear to ear. I'm SO happy! It looks like someone took a house from Europe and plopped it down in PG! (Which is an excellent point, since we are basing our ideas on Europe.) Jane (who owns it and is VERY helpful) gave me an idea of being married inside, then Brandon and I after the ceremony walk out to the gardens where our guests follow and then they ring a bell in celebration! :) It's just like the wedding we went to in Germany! I'm sooooooo excited!
I just wanted to let everyone know. The date is still the same. Just a different venue! Love ya all! Thanks for all your help!

GO TO THE COURTHOUSE CHELSEA!!!!! ELOPE ELOPE ELOPE!!!! YOU WON'T HAVE TO BOTHER WITH ALL THE MOM, FUTURE MOM IN LAW, AND OTHER BUSY BODY EGOS. GET MARRIED BY ELVIS.
TAKE THE MONEY YOU SAVE AND DO SOMETHING FUN OR PUT IT INTO YOUR FUTURE HOME [WHICH MAKES MORE SENSE]. PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND EVEN THE ONES WHO GET MIFFED ABOUT THE ELOPMENT. WE CAN HAVE A 'RECEPTION PARTY' OR REVELE FOR YOU LATER. I HAVE GOT SOME GOOD BOOZE BOUGHT JUST FOR THE OCCASION.
REALLY TAKE MY ADVICE AND JUST GET MARRIED WITHOUT ALL THE FRILLS
I LOVE YOU --UNCLE JOHN
