You'd Think It Was Good News

Jeremy and I went down to Union Station to check out their event space yesterday......and WE LOVE IT!! The site coordinator there was really helpful and offered so many suggestions on things we could do and ways we could set things up. And they are surprisingly relaxed about how we use the space. They have hardly any restrictions and seem really accomodating. I am so IN LOVE.

So why the title for this post? Well, yesterday morning my dad received a call from our original reception venue. They were the whole reason we had to go in search of a new venue site. Turns out the manager that my dad knows and has worked a lot with had been on vacation for a month due to some injuries, and so we were getting a lot of mixed messages and uncertainty about whether or not we'd be able to have our reception there. The manager is back now, and he called to confirm and assure us that, although they are in the midst of changing ownership, nothing would interfere with us having our reception there. Great.....just great!

You'd think this was good news. Instead, we are slightly frustrated....not to be a brat or anything. It's just that we went through 7 blissful months of not having to worry about a reception site, only to have our plans changed with only 6 months to the wedding, then spending 2 stressful weeks frantically searching for a new venue, and after finally finding "the perfect" location....it feels like our hopes have been crushed again. It's such a tease! Am I even making any sense?


Of course, there are far worse things that could happen. And really, I am grateful that now we've gone from having no venue options to two. That's definitely a good thing. But
