Olowalu Plantation House

Something happened this weekend that makes me so crazy with excitement that I want to scream and jump up and down and do cartwheels on the lawn.

Ryan and I had another "talk" (he hates those, haha!) because we really needed to book our wedding venue before they had to give our spot up. I was telling him how concerned I was that all of the good vendors are booking up for next June, and I haven't felt like I could start planning anything because we aren't officially engaged. Long story short, he told me to put some faith in him and just go ahead and book the site!

So I am! Today! We're really doing this!!!! June 10, 2010. Wow. Amazing, fantastic, fabulous, AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Check it out: http://www.olowaluplantationhouse.com/


Now that we have that secured, I am getting antsy to start planning and booking other things like the photographer. And I need to start rounding up addresses so that the minute he proposes, I can send out our Save the Dates! I will let my closest friends know right now, so that they can start planning and saving as early as possible.

The only thing I am worried about is our friends being able to afford it. Maui is really pricey! I wish I could just put everyone's plane and hotel on my credit card because I will be heartbroken if someone I really care about can't come because of finances. And Ryan will have the same problem. We're not quite out of the 'just got out of college and can't afford anything' stage just yet....our friends are still just beginning to build their lives, change professions, buying houses, having kids...nobody is really settled down with some savings in the bank yet. I just hope somehow it's all going to work out.

I haven't been able to work at ALL today...seriously, all I have done is browse wedding blogs and websites. My boss would kill me if he knew :)
