Updates and a few small changes

So it's been almost a month and a half since my last post, and a lot has happened since then. I bought a dress, picked bridesmaids' dresses, bought a plane ticket for an out of towner, ordered wedding rings, bought premarital counseling books, picked out invitations, and went to Virginia. Right before that, Austin 71 emailed us and said that the property was being sold and that the owners didn't want to continue renting it out for events like weddings. So basically we were back to square one with having to find a new date and a new place.



We toyed around with the idea of having it at ACC, since it's our home church, and it'd be a lot cheaper. We weren't completely sure what that would look like, or if it would be even feasible, but we knew, having seen how much God had already provided us, that God would eventually show us where we needed to be. I sent a few feeler emails out to Green Pastures and the Wildflower center, but they only had fridays and sundays open, and we were pretty sure we wanted to get married on a Saturday. About a week later, I got an email from the facilities manager at the Wildflower Center saying that a couple had just cancelled their Oct 4 wedding and that it was now open. We were amazed that God had opened this door, exactly the same way, TWICE now in providing us an awesome venue in such short notice. She also mentioned that these dates usually book up a year and a half in advance, just like the Austin 71 people had said. It's really cool how God protected us with His peace about this whole situation, and we never once worried about what we would do. We knew He would provide, and He did. He deserves all the praise.



So I am pleased to announce that we're NOW getting married on Oct. 4, 2008, at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center. :)
