I Could Kiss The Unfortunate Bride

Today I got a call from the hall that I fell in love with for the wedding, Penna’s. I had originally wanted to get married in August but the hall was completely booked. My options left open were the weekend of Thanksgiving, which was not going to work at all since more than half of the guests will be coming from out of town, have a January or February wedding which then because it is Michigan you run the risk of the weather being so bad that planes are delayed or flights cancelled and the roads could potentially become impassable or wait until April or May and have a much longer engagement than either of us planned. The only other hope was slim that a bride who had booked October 18th would back out of her slot. As none of the other options were very appealing I was praying and hoping that she would cancel out and today it did. I got a call that she had cancelled her date and since she was supposed to be in the same room as I wanted that if I was still interested would I like to have October 18th as the date for the wedding. I was ESTATIC. Although this date would never be my first pick because my birthday was October 4th and Halloween being my favourite holiday I was more than happy to scoop up this time. So now the wedding has an official date and according to all that I have read once the date is decided upon then you can start calling vendors and pricing out rates. I am so super excited I think I am going to burst with the joy of it all.
