Clint and I went to talk to the minister today at 2:30. We definitely decided we're going to get married at the First Christian Church by Joan McGregor. She was really nice. And everything is working out nicely.
The church probably holds about 250 people without having to use the overflow and probably 300 if we do use the overflow. And the church is free since I'm a member so you can't beat that. And we can have candles and write our own vows and personalize the ceremony to fit who we are and the kind of wedding we want (within reason). We can throw birdsead or rice (or whatever that doesn't create a mess that has to be cleaned up) but since we're having an evening wedding I'm considering sparklers but I didn't ask. I will try to remember next time we talk to her.
I'm really glad Clint decided to get married there as well. And she also said she didn't have a problem at all having a joint ceremony with a Catholic priest present for Clint if he so desired. He told me that he didn't think he'd end up wanting that but I think he was glad that she gave him the option. She also said that the priest could do our premarital counseling if needed but I would prefer not.
Next we have the reception hall. We're going to try to reserve Clonmel Hall. We're going to call to see how much it is but also have Clint's dad ask about it because Mark belongs to the Clonmel church and we aren't sure if Mark would be able to rent it for cheaper because of that. So we'll see. I hope we find out soon so someone else doesn't get to it first! :)
I'm all excited about going to the bridal fair tomorrow. :) I'll update again after I get back.
