reception site selected!

after 3 weeks of intense searching, we have finally settled on a reception site for the wedding :) i had been feeling like we were just going to have to settle for a place that was just available, affordable, and capable of getting the job done, even if it didn't feel particularly special to us, but my mom kept looking diligently and we actually ended up picking the second-to-last place we looked at!

it is called the Royal Fox Country Club, and we love it for several reasons. first and foremost, it reminds us of W&M! the building is modeled after Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home in VA, complete with a small rotunda. the interior has a unique colonial feel, with a wood paneled library and decorative oil lamps. second, we'll have the place all to ourselves, so we won't be competing with other DJs or wedding guests. third, the rooms have lots of big windows looking out over the golf course with pretty picture spots close by. and lastly, it was both available and affordable, haha.

with the major decision made (church and reception site), it's on to colors, dresses (including mine of course), flowers, photographers, DJs...so i guess there's still lots to do, haha. oh well, we are definitely making progress!!!
