I've been planning my wedding since I was approximately 10 years old, so needless to say I have already put many of my ideas into go mode, but I still want to blog about them and hate that I wasn't on top of all of this blogging business earlier!
Today I think I want to talk about finding the perfect location for our wedding.
Both my fiance and I are from the same hometown, so choosing Knoxville was an easy decision. Finding a happy medium in the ceremony and reception site was a whole different ball game.
I have always dreamed of getting married outside...Something truly picture perfect, exchanging vows at sunset, 'neath a vast magnolia tree in the backyard of a southern plantation home... Think the Oak Alley Plantation, http://www.oakalleyplantation.com/, right outside of New Orleans.
The FH, who has been pretty ambivalent about everything wedding related, however was adamant that we get married in a church. Wanting to respect his wishes and beliefs, and realizing that in the greater scheme of things is this really something that I want to fight about? I decided to give into his request, and we will be getting married in his church, First Presbyterian Church, in downtown Knoxville.
I am very excited about our ceremony site, it is the oldest church in Knoxville, and truly beautiful...except for this massive crucifix hanging in the sanctuary.
I feel realy sacreligious saying this but...Maybe we can cover it with a drape? Large flower arrangement? Ask them to take it down? It is Jesus...maybe I should just leave it alone.
