Picking a Date

As I shared on Facebook last week, Al and I picked a wedding date!!! 😍

When we got engaged, we started thinking about what dates would work for us and be special to us. However, we didn't want to get our hearts set on a date until we were able to find a reception venue. From the time we realized we wanted to spend our lives together, we knew we would get married at our home church, Jennies Branch. That's where we officially met and where our relationship really blossomed. The trouble was finding a reception venue in the area that was close to the church and would hold the number of people we are planning to have. Our options were very few because we do have a lot of people we are inviting. So I started looking into the couple of places we had to choose from and wasn't super impressed with any of them. Then, I remembered a place that is still fairly new and would definitely accommodate our large guest list. I went through the process of contacting the right people and ended up talking to a family friend, who just so happens to be the event coordinator of this venue. It was truly a God send the way finding this place happened. After a good conversation and learning that it can meet all of our desires and needs, we booked this venue within less than an hour! The best part about this whole thing was that the whole month we were looking at to get married in was open for this venue, so we got the choose the date we had been eyeing since our engagement last month!

Al and I will officially become husband and wife on March 3, 2018, and we could not be more excited!!! We are so thankful for the hand of God orchestrating things the way He sees best in our lives! We can't wait to keep the planning rolling! Stay tuned for the next big thing on our to-do list: Asking our wedding party :)

P.S. Had to share our favorite thing about our wedding date - the double numbers:

Our anniversary date is 08.08.11
Our engagement date is 10.16.16
Our wedding date will be 03.03.18
