Whorl Wind Wedding Planning!!

My bride Deborah and I met in April. Deborah and Richard have been engaged for 18 years!! They have a long and beautiful love story and they have decided that now is the time to take that next step and get married. Originally they wanted to get married on the beach somewhere here in southern California, but once we started talking about what they had in mind, Deborah expressed that her mom would really love for her to get married back home in Sharon, MA. I told her that if that is something that she really wanted for her and Richard as well, that I could make that happen for her. With in 5 minutes after our meeting, Deborah called and said that we were going for it... planning her wedding for Sharon, Massachusetts!!
So that is what I did. I started looking for venues in and around Sharon, but there was a shortage of venues that were available for her date. So I needed to think outside the venue box.
Deb had expressed that her dream was to get married in the church were she grew up in Sharon and what type of look she wanted for her wedding reception, etc. I did my research, made appointments and Deb and I headed for Boston on a red eye flight June 12th.
We landed at Logan Airport at 7:00 am Saturday morning, got the rental car and headed to our first meeting. From 7:00 am that morning until 7:00 pm that night we did not stop. Seriously except for directions. (Everyone in MA thinks they know a better way to get somewhere and no one gives you the same directions) We had cake tasting(s), venue walk through(s), photographer and florist meetings... by 8:00 that night we were starving, tired and thrilled!! It was an amazing day. We met so many wonderful vendors and venues. We ate, hit the hot tub at the hotel and sleep like babies.
The next morning was another day of the same, cake tasting, food tasting, and photographer meeting all before our flight later that day at 4:00 pm!
On the way home we went over everything and picked out the venue and vendors.
Deb is getting married at the Baptist Church in Sharon where she attended when she was a little girl with her family. (Dream One... Check) The reception; Deb wanted a place where the feeling and atmosphere was very Old New England... that is exactly what she is getting with Lafayette House, built in 1784 where they not only give you a warm, cozy reception but also amazing food!! (Dream Two... Check) The florist Judy at Judy's Village Flowers is fantastic and she really gets our vision. So, at this time we have all our vendors picked, the venue set, the cake and food tasting(s) done, the photographer is on board, oh and did I mention Dream Three? A vintage Rolls to deliver the bride and groom in style... (Check)
I'm so excited for September to get here and head to Massachusetts to help Deb and Richard have the romantic dream wedding they have envisioned for 18 years...
