We woke up early Saturday morning for a wedding planning filled day! Our first stop was the wedding venue to meet with the event coordinator there. We set a location for the ceremony and discussed the reception setup. George even had us mapping out dance floor sizes like a real pro. :) After our meeting, we walked the grounds and I was in heaven. If I am missing on wedding day...I will be off snapping pictures around the beautiful plantation. Next we were off to a tasting with the caterer. Tyler and I never did a tasting for our wedding so we don't have anything for comparison sake. But this tasting was HUGE! We tasted 10 of the 12 items Maggie sent them. And we tasted in full portions. We pretty much rolled ourselves out of there because everything was completely fabulous! I don't even know how you decide what to serve, but I promise you this...Tyler and I will be among the first in line come wedding day! Luckily for the entourage, it was now nap time! Maggie and George headed out to meet with the officiant while the rest of us happily napped off our meal. Then the girls were off to a meeting with the florist who was absolutely delightful. Maggie has definitely managed to surround herself with some laid back and perfectly sweet vendors!
We got changed for the night and headed out to see 3 different possible rehearsal dinner venues. We stopped in for a drink at a wine bar. Atmosphere was great but not quite what they are looking for. From there we headed to dinner (yes, more food!) at a different restaurant. On our way, we passed a locksmith with decorated concrete outside the store. You know we couldn't resist a picture of the keys. :) Dinner was so tasty and the location is a definite contender for the rehearsal dinner! After dinner we were off for more drinks at the 3rd venue. Maggie and George loved this one but unfortunately, we came home to find it is already booked. It was a LONG day of planning and tasting and meeting but so much was accomplished that even the blushing-bride-to-be gave rated her excitement for the day at an 11.
