We have finally done something for the wedding!!

So...last weekend, Wolfgang and I were pretty busy! We looked at various places along Hillsborough St. or near it. We started out at Holiday Inn Brownstone Hotel and we liked the fact that it had two rooms: one for drinks and food and the other for dancing. Although Wolfgang does not worry about this, I did not like the color scheme of the hotel nor the appearance of the outside of the location. Next we went to Velvet Cloak. The man at the desk was kinda rude and a little ackward, but we liked the ballroom area, which has a deck attached to it and...if we want to go big, there is also an atrium that we could rent out. Following, we went to the Clarion Hotel (the circular building a block from the church-yes extremely convenient). We were not able to speak to the event coordinator nor see the ballroom area :(, but we have contact information that we will surely use. After that, we went to the Sheraton Hotel on S. Salisbury St. We like this venue the best so far; very elegant and open. I think if it is not the one we choose, our reception area will be very similar it. The lady we spoke to was also very nice, a plus for us. We also went to the Memorial Auditorium, but a competition was taking place so we did not have a chance to talk to anyone. So yeah...we were busy, but glad that we have some places in mind!!

O, I also wanted to list our bridesmaids and groomsmen. We are very thankful for each and every one of them and want to give them special recognition throughout our process and at our wedding....so here is the list (they are in order of how close they will be standing next to us if you want to picture it):
