It's Finalized!

Wonderful news! We have our ceremony and reception site picked and finalized! It will take place at the Renaissance by the StL Airport (see pictures below). The site is beautiful! I don't know if I have mentioned this, but we plan on doing both our ceremonies (Indian and a non-denominational Christian ceremony) on our wedding day! They will most likely be back-to-back with a small break in between both. We wish we could have done a Catholic ceremony at Bryan's church in Troy, but with so many out-of-town guests, we didn't think it was feasible. We hope to renew our vows maybe on our one year anniversary in a Catholic church and maybe have a small celebration with our close friends and family. This way we get the Catholic blessings as well, which is important to both Bryan and I.

As of right now, the contract has been signed by both parties, so we have our location, food, alcohol, our wedding night room, and tableware/chinaware taken care of! I have to make a HUGE shout out to my parents (THANK YOU SO MUCH MUM AND DAD) who did the majority of this and made is easier on Bryan and I! They rock basically! Because of their hard work in finding the best place to hold our special day's festivities, we now have some of the biggest things crossed off our list! Also, my dad found a great guy who might DJ our wedding ceremony and reception and can play both Indian and American music! Works out great. Our friends and family really are going to be cultured during our wedding day! Now it's on to the really fun and creative planning! We still have lots to do, but it's nice knowing some of the major things are taken care of now! Our next task if finding an officiant, looking into marriage classes, honeymoon resorts, and bakeries for our wedding cake (really, REALLY excited for this part)! Love.
