I am a down to earth person. It is my first time getting married, so I want an actual wedding, but because I am an older bride I have many other money commitments as well as time constraints we have decided to keep to the basics and be as budget friendly as possible. We are going with a rustic themed wedding after selecting our reception venue. It is a small gazebo with a fire pit in the middle. The venue holds 88 people and is about a 4 hour drive from our home. I cannot wait to marry my love on August 3, 2019!!!

Happily married 🎉

What a neat idea for your guests to understand who to chat with and who wants to keep their distance.

Favourable weather forecast
Sharlene of Before the wedding, On July 23, 2019 at 09:48

22 °C with a mix of sun and clouds for our wedding day. I sure hope they are right with 11 days to go that is perfect weather especially given our usually wet summer we have had this far.
