Location, location, location

I made appointments to see three different reception locations for Saturday, January 14th. The Fess Parker Doubletree Hotel, Stella Mare's and The University Club of Santa Barbara. They all look great in the pictures and the people I've spoken to seem nice. It will be fun to see the places in person. I'm very excited that all three places allow candles. That may sound weird, but I always envisioned a candlelit reception - all warm and cozy. I'm open to different dates in the fall. We were originally thinking of November, but now it looks as if we may have the option of October or even September. It sure would be nice to have it the Sunday of the long Labor Day weekend - the weather would be nice, people could come for a few days AND we may be able to save money by having it on a Sunday.

My matron of honor, Laura, asked me what kind of wedding dress I'm thinking of. I have no clue. I think I have to try them on to really know. I'm not a dress person, so it's hard to even know what looks good on me. It will be soooo fun to go dress shopping when the time comes.
