(second strap can be added for my more modest bm's)
We also have managed to get our officiant booked which is a load of my shoulders, you cant have a wedding without someone to marry you. we were having a hard time picking an officiant because I feel like its a personal thing, I had a hard time excepting that some stranger was going to marry us and that we where going to have almost no connection to a person who is playing such a big role in our day. neither of us are religious so we don't have a trusted pastor or minister to marry us so we are having a civil ceremony. the one thing I have found a little unsettling about the whole wedding planning is how little you actually know your vendors before they expect you to fork over your money, when picking our officiant it was the same way we got a list of people from the city who perform marriages spoke over email twice and that is all the contact we were giving from any of the officiants we emailed before we were told how we could put a deposit down to book them. I have had to suck that up and we have booked the person we think will be the best for us based off there little bio in there site and hopefully when we meet them a month before the wedding our meeting will prove that we have chosen well.
we may have our reception site booked, dress almost paid off, and officiant booked but we are far from done as anyone who has planned a wedding before would know. the next on my list of things to do is book the ceremony site (I know I know I probably should have done that by now). we originally wanted to book a courtyard at Robs University but unfortunately they wont book just the courtyard we would have to pay for the whole venue all day *Sigh* but we have another location in mind. A little "park" by my parents house in the country also not far from the reception venue the Kingston Mills Locks. The only problem with this venue is.... its parks Canada who are HORRIBLE for answering your calls...or returning them. heres hoping we can get this ceremony site.
