Our baby, my baby, and his lovely bride to be, have taken the first steps toward their wedding. They set the date! They chose the venue! And they broke the news to my brother, who had graciously offered his beautiful home for the wedding. My brother took the news well, and was a bit relieved. After some discussion with my hubby and me, we all came to the conclusion that an outdoor wedding at my brother's home would not be the best idea. Parking would be a nightmare on his cul-de-sac. He only has three restrooms. He has well water. And what if it rains? So, they found the place of their dreams with grounds that are beautiful. They can make use of the venue outdoors and indoors. And, they don't have to limit the number of people!!!! So you are all invited. They wanted a fall wedding in New England and were lucky to get the only date available. Whew! October 6, 2017 More info to follow.

Oh that must be such a huge relief that they've found the perfect venue and mandatory things are booked. Now I would hope that the fun would begin. I'm not allowing myself to even think about venues until later on this month, because once I get into it and make my suggestions to the kids then it will be wedding mania I'm sure! They choose a great date, our wedding anniversary is just 3 days ahead of them, and its a lovely time of the year.

@DianneN I'm hoping that our wedding will be in the fall, life paces seem to naturally slow back down after the school schedule resumes, and a month later, early October, everyone is looking forward to a wedding! Now you'll be able to start the search for your dress since you have a season to shop for. That will be fun!

@Juliaacv I may have one custommade. Very excited about the dress. I know they'll both take time from work, but that won't be a problem. I think they will postpone the honeymoon only due to the best scuba and snorkeling seasons.

They found the place themselves, even though I offered many suggestions. I saw it online, and am thrilled. They have a tasting to go to, but they heard the food was great. Her brother is a chef, so he should go with them. Lol! I'm sure that time of year will be nice. Not too hot, or too cold. We are so excited!

@DianneN He was very kind, but it is true that when you expect many guests there are several problems to consider, the number of parking lots and the restrooms are always a problem.
