Rich Bride Poor Bride

If you are the last to know...I'm terribly sorry! The news....I've finally set a date to marry Michael. Almost 2 years ago Michael proposed to me at one of our favorite restaurants in Chandler. Yes, I said 2 years ago, LOL!! So finally I am taking time to plan this wedding....I have had a lot of the summer to do this~ but really have just begun.

First and foremost~ our date: Saturday February 28th, 2009

So now you ask, what does "Rich Bride Poor Bride" have to do with it? It's the book I'm reading through as I do my planning. I ran across it in the library, and it caught my attention especially since I've seen a few episodes on WEtv. ****(Make sure if check out my favorite books on the left, too.)****

So let me share what I'm currently working on (I've already set a budget in place...). I'm working on the Va-Va-Voom Your Venue...lol...where will hold my ceremony and my reception. Since the party is THE biggest part of my budget, and don't we all agree it should be? LOL! If we think back to all the weddings we have attended.....we go for what reason? TO PARTYYYYY!!!!!

If you are fortunate to attend my wedding (heheehe, of course your invited) you will enjoy a beautiful ceremony, a delicious dinner, and a night full of free drinks...and lots of dancing and partying!!! This is going to be the party of the year!

Some of the places I'm considering for my 'Venue' ~

Radisson in Chandler

Holiday Inn at Ocotillo

Sanctuary Golf Course

The above list is by far from complete...today I hope to find a few more within the budget, and then tomorrow we plan to go visit and narrow this list down.

I'm so excited to share the next level in our planning for the Cooper/Goldberg Wedding, the next blog I'll be sharing Michael & Tonja's Wedding Website...be sure to check back often for our details~ and don't forget to share your ideas and thoughts.

OHhhhhhh and if you couldn't tell ..our exciting wedding colors are Chocolate Brown and Pink!
