Once again, life imitates a Wal-Mart product display

AHHHH! Me again. I'm just having one of my off-kilter freak outs. Ok, no, not really. Yes? Ok, good.

We've (my dam and I) have scheduled ourselves to look at two venues this Saturday. One is on a golf course that can only be used by 3M employees or family of 3M employees. My aunt worked for 3M at one point, so she said she'd be happy to sponsor me. Wowwee! I feel like one of those 16 year-old Spud Fest princesses that finally found a sponsor back in my hometown. Well, sort of. I guess there will be dresses, tiaras, makeup and possibly a sash thrown into the mix during the bachelorette party eventually, but we aren't quite there yet.

So, ahem. Venues. Let's get back to that. See how sidetracked I get sometimes? I swear my head isn't screwed on right half the time.

This is the golf course/3M venue:





The other venue is a bit pricier. Yoda (aka my mom) scoped it out earlier and said it was attached to a restaurant. The restaurant is nice, but there just so happens to be pole barns across the street. Meh. Pole barns. Maybe I could rent one of those and start a fire in a barrel to save on astronomical reception hall costs. We can fuel it with a red gasoline tank and roast S'mores as well. Disclaimer: In the event of an inevitable death due to the consumption of fuel-tainted S'mores, I would like to note I am not liable. It was just an idea, I'm not shoving you off the bridge. Sheesh.

This is a picture of the restaurant/banquet center venue:

They kind of look similar, don't they? The restaurant venue has an awesome garden, but the 3M venue is far cheaper and much nicer overall, I think. I can't say that for sure as I haven't been to either yet, but I'll be sure to update when I do get there.

I am hoping to secure the date of 09/10/11 (just because I like the sequence of numbers). The golf course still has that open and the restaurant venue doesn't. The restaurant venue has Oct 1st open, which is a total possibility. Rushing, much?

Next up: Finding the church. This should be interesting since I was baptized Lutheran but confirmed Catholic and the boyfriend was baptized Catholic but switched to Lutheran later. We're hybrids, yay! Together we make 1 whole Catholic and 1 whole Lutheran. Speshul.
