Location

Stuff IS getting done... sort of

We paid our deposit on our location! We had to change our date, because it was already booked, but truthfully, I love our new date even more. (we were 6.13.09, now we are 6.20.09)

The site is fabulous because we get the beach without having to deal with weather, and most importantly tourists. The beach is so important to us- its where I grew up, and FH is a coastal engineer so its his career! Anyway, we are using a hotel/ resort and they are pretty much giving us the entire bottom floor of their condo building. I am so excited! And I got to go take pictures while it was set up for another wedding reception, although the room that is set up will be where our actual wedding ceremony is held. Look through the pictures!!

The plan for now (and i don't see this changing) is having the wedding ceremony in a room with windows facing the ocean. It will be beautiful regardless of the weather, and the windows are tinted from the outside so no one can see in and crash our party. From there, the guests will move to a terrace outside for hor'dourves while we go down to the beach and take pictures (weather permitting). Once we are wrapping up pictures, the guests will move into the reception room (a much bigger ballroom) and we will re-enter the building and have our grand entrance. I love it. Everything is together so no one has to drive- which in Myrtle Beach is a plus, especially for our out of town guests. And the resort has condos, villas, and regular hotel rooms for people to rent so hopefully most people will stay on the premises and can drink all they want and we dont have to worry!
