June 28th, 2014 at Norskedalen — it has a good ring to it, doesn’t it?
It’s only three month’s sooner than the original September 27th date we had in mind before, but that doesn’t make me freak out any less. You see, I made a silly mistake and mixed up the e-mails between our first and third choice venues. After talking to our first choice venue on the phone last week and discovering that it wasn’t them that had e-mailed me I was completely heart broken. I threw my phone down on the bed and my head just fell into my hands. I really had my heart set on this location– more so than I even thought I did.
This was after new years and we were leaving to La Crosse to celebrate Christmas with Cory’s side of the family and so after I wiped my tears, we got packed up to leave. We just decided to talk about things on our ride there. I got an email from our first choice venue that they had a last minute cancellation and Saturday, June 28th was open if we wanted to jump on it. Cory called them as soon as we arrived in La Crosse and they put it on hold for us until the following Monday (this was a Thursday). After spending all day Friday calling caterers, DJs, you name it– we decided that we could totally swing it and we could definitely plan a wedding in 6 months.
So, it’s officially official! As you can tell from the picture above, we got our engagement pictures done last weekend. I absolutely love all of the sneak peaks we’ve been getting + I can’t wait to see the rest! And now it’s time for some serious Save the Date card scouting. With a time frame like ours, I feel like I’m already behind on them!
So ready to marry this man + now I get to even sooner!
(You can see some incredible wedding photos from our location here)
I am so happy and excited for you! <3 you sweet friend 🙂
How fun! 🙂 My best friend got married on June 28th! Perfect day for a wedding!
September 27 is my anniversary!! You should’ve kept that one! 😉 Just kidding. Summer weddings are my favorite. And I know you can plan this wedding in six months…I planned mine in two. And that was two weeks after I gave birth haha! Good luck girl! I can’t wait to see pictures of everything! So happy for you!!!
