I NEED A VENUE //
// to channel my excitement frustration
// that allows me to express myself
// for our wedding
Oh California, your beauty and your wealth of resources can be so enticing...& yet so elusive. Jon & I have been on the hunt, scouring the Internet (blogs, photographer sites) for our dream location. After several weekends spent driving through parts of LA that remain an unknown to most people, we reached the point of despair. Too expensive, no open dates, the wrong "feel", overpriced catering (over $50 for a meal? $9 per person for a dry bar?) It adds up.
I find that trusting God becomes applicable in a new way once again. I think telling yourself to "relax" and be at peace is impossible without letting the mess inside your head find a new home...& there is no better place to leave it then at the foot of Christ's cross. Pray for our sanity & perseverance as we sniff out the most affordable venues & keep reminding ourselves :: the reason for a wedding is marriage. That...carries far greater responsibility & more trials than a day-long event &&& should take considerably more preparation.
All that said, we found some breathtaking views of California splendor // hills, vineyards, lakes, parks // from Malibu to Camarillo
