We have a venue!

At long last, the wedding is booked. The ceremony will be held in the "Serene outdoor wedding chapel (weather permitting)" at The Inn at Rose Hall in Eureka Springs. It will be a small wedding, but it will nonetheless be a fairytale wedding with all the trimmings, including a Victorian horse-drawn carriage to carry us off into happily-ever-after. And then it'll bring us right back because we also get two nights in one of their honeymoon suites. Rowr!

The inn takes care of everything from the minister to the flowers to the cake and champagne to arranging the photography. All we have to do is show up in our regalia with our wedding license and my bridal bouquet in tow. We can also provide our own unity candle and special candle-lighting music, but if we decide not to bother they'll take care of that, too.

After all of the crying and hair-pulling (my own, not Matt's) I've done trying to make my dream wedding fit my budget, this all seems too good to be true. But true it is. I'm so excited I don't know how I'm going to get any work done for the rest of the day. Yippee!
