...that trying to find a wedding venue was so difficult? scratch that, it's prob not difficult, its just time consuming and how do you pick a location from a website? anyone have any advice on how to do this? we're looking at a place in Old Town, Alexandria on Wednesday and then checking out Fawn Lake this weekend.
What would be REALLY cool is if it was already picked out, we had a date and people just showed up, captain awesome gets kicked out, we randomly find a DJ down the street and have an amazing time like at the JARTY!
Carly, talk to the Sweed at Cabo and tell him to construct one here in DC. we need a devil bar... it's only fair.
A Cabo Cantina Wedding... imagine...
and the dance floor...
our ordained minister, Nico. He totally approves of this idea, btw.
(been thinkin about taking kids pictures for extra cash for parents, lemme know if you're interested!)

OMG there were some very cool/funky/warehouse/artsy places i found in VA that i sooooooooooo wanted to get married at until we decided to get married in good ole RI at a ("very unique place") of a hotel...HA. I am drawing a blank on the searches i found that i was in AWE of....i just emailed my mom. Stay tuned!!! i can sooooooo see you loving these places!
OMG Shannon please share!! We have been talking about destination wedding (its easier to plan since someone else pretty much does all the work) but we might change it back to DC now.
Congrats again Carrie! Good luck on the wedding planning and don't let it get to you. It can be stressful at times but try to have fun with it as much as you can. Although you guys looks like such a fun and happy couple, I think the planning will end up being lots of fun for you both.
How much you charging for doing kids pics?
Finding a wedding venue is rough, but you'll know once you get it. I wish I had done mine in someplace other than a hotel (Westfields Marriott). Do it someplace different like a botanical garden (there's one in DC i think). i'm sure you will get a lot of wedding advice, but 3 things to keep in mind:
1. Get your dress at least 6 months ahead. For some reason they yell at you if you don't
2. Flowers... same thing, get it about 6 months ahead. We got laughed at by a few florist because we didn't go in earlier. (Don't spend a lot of money on flowers, they just die!)
3. Get a videographer. So mad we didn't have someone tape the wedding since I don't remember anything :-) We went back and forth and I thought we wouldn't ever watch it, but wish I had done it for those times I wish I could remember what the hell happened!
