Weddingbee boards

So after all this planning and securing a date/venue... i decided today that I much rather have a small wedding with just our immediate families together. Soooo what does that mean... We have decided to grab our immedite famlies and rent a house in the Outer Banks, say I DO's and be done with it.  =)

My family is behind me 100%, my Fiance is behind this 100%, now the tough part... his mom. I just have a feeling she may have a problem with this. But i dont care!! this is what we want. this is more our style.

We rent the house, so they dont have to pay for anything wedding related  =)  im so excited, i couldnt stop smiling today  =)

Wish us luck !  now to get rid of all the decor i have aquired!

Congrats - sometimes the best thing to do is keep it simple :-) Also well done for keeping control of your day, I learned to my cost that letting people pay for things often means you don't get a say...

Good luck :-)

Thanks Bees. I did it! i cancelled my vendor. started the refund process and I booked my house in Corolla Light today!! im soooo freakin happy!!!

I found a spot by Whalehead Club right by the foot bridge where I want to get married.  hopefully I am allowed. If not there is plenty of BEACH to go around! lol

let me know if that pic works. its the spot i want to get married at sunset.

aww sorry Bees i didnt know it would take you to the main site for tours. i thought it was just the pictures. yea its of the foot bridge leading to the whalehead club. i just love it.

So i told her and she was fine with it. but its kinda turned into this thing and im annoyed. we were going to share a house with them, and then it turned into them wanting an ocean front ( we like the sound side) and then it was about them and their wedding anniversary and i was really mad. I am still actually. They arent even booking a house in Corolla Light, they are going somewhere else. oh and their anniversary isnt until december. but whatever, i understand if you want to go all out and combine the things whatever, but the main focus is us getting married and she seemed to lose that. I told my fiance today about my frustrations and he is totally behind me 100%.

Im a very simple person and i totally understand that its going to be hard on people and i try to make everyone happy, but damn it, this time its about ME.

@mjchexum: we have never been. so it was a little stressful. i filled out a thing on obx wedding association site, and it sends a mass email to all their vendors. after receiving over a 100 emails, one of the last ones FINALLY waa of any help. my biggest concern was lodging obviously cause i need 3 houses. well 2 now that his mom is getting her own somewhere else. Leigh at Briindley Beach was AMAZING. she took the time and actually put together a REAL email ( not a generaic email that gets sent out from the other vendors) this email contained a handful of properites with the links to the house for me to see. She also listed links about reception sites and places to eat. I couldnt tell her ENOUGH how much she made my week! she made things so painless. My parents and I were able to book our houses today and I cant be more happy!

If you are serious definately contact her. she is amazing.

i am super excited. im trying to plan for the wedding expo in January. to go down there and see everything  =)  everyone in my family is so excited we all wish it was this past summer! hahaha. me too. just wish i thought of this SOONER
