What took me soooo damn long?
First, I was finishing up graduate school.... to "finish" required an authoring of a thesis. In Chemical Engineering, at MIT. This "little" project unfortunately took up way more time then I had planned so wedding stuff got put on hold for awhile.
Secondly, we are doing something a bit off the beaten track. My fiance and I thought it would be fun to host a sort of destination wedding in our neck of the woods. We both come from the west coast (Colorado and CA respectively) but are now living in New England.
How cool would it be to rent a house on Cape Cod for the ENTIRE week and throw a big wedding/family reunion type of event?????
When we first were conceptualizing our wedding we kept coming back to the fact that we really wanted to spend a lot of quality time with our families. It seemed SO silly for everyone to pay so much $$$ to fly out, stay in a hotel, etc. for just one single day! We've been to so many weddings where we spent so little time with bride & groom. A hello, goodbye and that was it! We wanted our wedding to be different. Plus, why not let our two families really get to know one another. Nothing like being cooped up in a house together for a week to facilitate bonding. ;)
So, to make a long story short we looked, and looked, and looked for rental houses on cape cod that would allow us to host a wedding. This ended up being WAY more complicated than I ever anticipated but alas we've finally found our house & signed the contract (drum roll please, for pic presentation.....)
The wedding reception will be held outside in a tent on the back lawn.
The house sleeps 29 people!!
It is everything that I always dreamed of and more.........
