New Chairs.....FINALLY!!!!

YEA...New Chairs! We knew early on that we wanted to get new chairs once we owned the venue. The brown chairs were purchased used several years ago from a local rental company clearing out old stock. They have definitely seen better days. It seemed like ever event we worked a couple of chairs were lost due to breakage. At the end of July, we bit the bullet and ordered 150 new white wooden chairs. So why do I say "FINALLY"? Well, it has been quite an ordeal to get these chairs here. The chairs were scheduled to be here August 5. When they didn't show, we called and emailed to no avail. For the next several weeks, each time we called the company we either got the run around or they didn't answer. We were finally at our breaking point and about to call off the order when they showed up 6 weeks late. I guess it is better late than never! :)

Pictures of The Inn at Wild Rose Hall

Here are a just a few pictures taken at our renewal (more about that soon) of The Inn at Wild Rose Hall by Jaime with Beloved Photography. We were so blessed to have this special event of our's and our fabulous venue photographed by her. She is very professional but also very low key which is perfect in my book for a wedding vendor. :) These pictures were taken from her blog.

Our Vow Renewal

For years Glenn and I have wanted to renew our vows. We eloped 18 years ago because I though I didn't want or desire all the hoopla that comes with a wedding. It probably wasn't a year later when I realized I really did want that. We didn't have any pictures of that special day. For years we talked about where it would be or what it would look like never really finding the right time to do it. At the first of 2009, we decided this would be the years we would finally just do it. We planned to have it in our backyard with family and friends. Within a month of deciding, we found out about Wild Rose Hall being for sale. Once we agreed to by it, it made perfect sense to have it there. How better to start a new chapter in our lives as husband and wife than to renew our vows in front of family and friends at our venue? It was truly a blessing of fullfilling a long held desire in such a special and meaningful way. Here is a slideshow from Jaime Lynne.
