So we narrowed down the Casino choice to Mandalay Bay, beautiful, amazing chairs, it is modern and perfect. All I had to do was reserve the date.........NO PROBLEM! Everything is ready right? Wrong!
Jim spent a manual labor filled week in Hawaii, on the island of Oahu. He was there working with Matt and a couple of other guys installing a bunch of bubble walls, bar, and VIP acrylic tables in a club called Oceans 808. He'd spend his days/nights working with acrylic, and then spending time at the beach (I think he is still cleaning sand out of his ears :) ) and he fell in love with the place. The owners of the club said that we can have the reception there, and the beach house that they stayed in has like 8 bedrooms, so we are thinking about renting out the house and having everyone stay there and splitting the cost instead of everyone renting hotel rooms, plus it's ON the beach, can we say perfect?? I will post some of the pictures that he took soon, the place is gorgeous, I haven't been there yet, but I'm ready to move there :).
So we are postponing the wedding ONE year, and the new date is January 27, 2010 the location is TBD for right now. We are heading to Hawaii in January to price out getting married on the beach there, if that is a no go, we will get married in Arizona, and head to a Hawaiian filled Honeymoon with the kids :). Rest assured, the details will be provided here. I am also going to put together a wedding website after the holidays.
I am not sad, I am not disappointed, in fact I am excited. I am starting the whole wedding planning process all over, and I am excited. While I would have been happy getting married in Las Vegas, I think we'd have looked back and felt that we had settled on something less than what we wanted.
Why wait you ask? Hell, we've been together for almost 6 years.........one more isn't going to change things......especially since we are planning to spend the rest of our lives together anyways. I'm not going anywhere, and neither is Jim........I can wait another year to change my last name ;).
We are planning on hosting an Engagement Party, probably the 1st or 2nd week of February, we will have a better idea of what the final plan is going to be then, as well as a couple of amazing tans :). I will send out the invitations as soon as I'm sure of the exact date.
I have a whole year to plan the wedding of a lifetime, and a lifetime to be married to the man of my dreams.
