Wedding Reception Shopping.

Wedding Planning so stressful. I have been kind of anti-wedding planning b/c I feel like I could care less about the wedding and more about the marriage. But some things needed to get done. So because we have the church all set we needed to get a reception location set. Bob and myself were joined by my parents and Bob’s sister and mom to go reception site shopping this past Monday and Tuesday. I think by 2nd location I wanted to be done and after the first Bob definitely did. What stress? Well we saw three locations on Monday and two on Tuesday. Four of the places we saw had great aspects to them. We needed to make a tough decision between The Science Museum, The History Center, The Hilton Garden Inn, and The Crown Plaza. Bob and I ended up with the decision on our lap, which was really nice that we were able to make the decision based on what we as a couple wanted, not just our families. It was so tough because I loved each place for a different reason. There was not one thing that I didn’t like that I could not get around. We ended up making a decision and I think that not just Bob and myself, but everyone attending the wedding will be happy with. However one of the great perks is the awesome bridal suite that we get-leather couches and a whirlpool! Here are some pictures of the reception site location-The Crown Plaza. Hip Hip Hooray-that is all I have to do with planning now isn’t it?

Here is the view from the outside, you can see all the windows in the Great River Ballroom.

Ignore the creepy guy in the photo, but this is a view of the dance floor where we will be partying it up all night long.
