How we chose our venue, part 2
Over the long course of our venue hunt, we had a lot of letdowns. Luckily, they were balanced by a few venues that were so ludicrously out of our budget range, that I couldn’t help but laugh.

Rich Bride, Poor Bride
I came home from work a little earlier than usual today, and caught an episode of Rich Bride, Poor Bride. I’ve seen this show before, but never a whole episode. The short version of my feelings about this show? What. The. Heck.
The show follows a couple through their wedding planning, focusing on their budgetting decisions. [...]
