Oh where, oh where!

I'm pretty sure Ryan and I are at the most difficult part of wedding planning right now: choosing the venue! This is really difficult because we like almost everywhere, but most all places have different pros and cons. The biggest con of most everywhere right now has been the price! Most all of the places are beautiful in their own way. Today I stumbled upon the PERFECT venue. Unfortunately, it takes up my whole entire budget. Here's the choice I've come to realize that everyone has to make:

A) Find an all inclusive venue that does absolutely everything.

B) Find a cheap venue that does the basics and pray that all the others things are cheap as we'll.

C) Just go for that expensive venue that everyone else wants that offers no extra perks and just go ahead and spend $25k! 

I am torn between choice A and B. The place I found today was an A. I found a park that's a B and I haven't ruled it out yet. I really do not want to pay more $1,000 to rent a space. Is that too much to ask? Yes, this is supposed to be the best day of my life. I don't want it to be the biggest debt of my life!  

Anyway, Ryan leaves next weekend for his trip. We're spending Valentine's Day together beginning tomorrow afternoon. :-) I'll be so glad when it's over. I know he's excited and so am I, but I hope soon we will put any kind of distance between us in the past.
