The First Steps

Hello all. As you can see this is a blog dedicated to the planning of my wedding. Michael and I have just started the wedding process, and as we were going through the picking the venue stage I decided that it would be nice to have somewhere to share my experiences.

So first thing is first The Venue. Michael and I saw multiple venue's before we settled on the Mississauga Convention Center. It's really a beautiful place, and they are tailoring to our needs, which is great.

As we started our looking processes Michael and I created a four page questionnaire to ask each venue. They consisted of the usual things in regards to parking and food, and they consisted of questions that were not so usual but pertained to our wedding.

I think though that we fell in love with the MCC right away. It had everything we wanted in regards to size, and elegance. They are catering to our Italian/Guyanese cuisine, and that is something that Michael and I are most happy about. We are of different back grounds and we want our wedding to reflect that. I think that it will be a nice meld of cultures, and it's really exciting being able to do that.

So today we went and put down our deposit, so it's official September 11, 2010 Michael and I will be getting married. We're both excited, but right now we still have a few more big things to get out of the way before I can start thinking about the smaller details.

Our next search is for a church. I have created a three page questionnaire that I will be asking every minister/priest until we find somewhere we're happy with.

Ohh I also got a call today that we won $3000.00 off a photographer/videographger. I entered into a few contests when I went to the bridal show... :) I am very happy about that.

Now it's time for me to go, but I shall keep you up to date on the wedding planning.
