So today Joey, mom, and I went on our wedding venue hunt and it was quite the adventure! I started out beautifully... we drove up to Myersville Maryland first. Joey and mom were thinking I was crazing for wanting to go look at a place far away in Maryland but I fell in love with it online. So on our way up 270 we see an old dodge truck with his window missing. Instead of getting it fixed this man duck taped a piece of plastic to his door and then cut out a peep hole so he could see out of it when turning. My mom and I were in tears laughing!! Anyway we got up to Maryland and I the location was beautiful!! I think its the place, I am keeping my fingers crossed we get the date I am hoping for! We shall see :) Here are a few pictures from this amazing place!
Now the true adventure began however when we arrived at the worlds worst winery wedding venue location!! I will not name any names but this place was AWFUL! It had one beautiful view but basically they wanted $20,000 to get married in a BARN! It really was a barn... it used to be a 30 stall barn that they converted into a "reception" area. Not to mention that our ceremony would have been right next to some roaming chickens. You know it is bad when the lady showing you the location says "you and your fiancée will need to move over this way during the ceremony so you don't see the electrical pole in your pictures." Anyway this place was NOT for Will and I! Not to mention that we are not trying to spend $20,000 just to get married and eat dinner in a barn with our friends and family!
Overall, it was a great day with my mom and brother and we sure did make some memories!
Don't forget the high dollar event also included plastic lawn chairs at the dinner tables and the barn windows still had the bars on them- kind of gives you that cozy "you are in jail" feeling.
ReplyDeleteI love it :) Thanks for sharing with us Jackie :) Wish I would have had the time and energy to do this :) I can't wait to walk through your wedding planning journey with you :)Love you!
ReplyDeleteMom- Oh thats right!! How could I have forgotten about those fabulous plastic chairs...on our invites we would have had to write that guests had to be under a 100 lb. limit to sit on chairs at the ceremony...
