article: pretty paper. true stories. {and scrapbooking classes with cupcakes.}: A different sort of project

So Saturday was certainly a project. Or part of a project. But not at all the make something sort of project. A bigger project entirely.

The where-are-we-getting-married project.

Originally, we were I was dead set on somewhere in the city. We looked at some lovely places. Lovely until you realise they have all clued in to how to make money in the wedding industry, so once you find the venue, you discover you can only use their catering, and did we mention it’s £100 a plate for a minimum of 100 guests? Well actually, they don’t mention. They stick it in a folder and hand it to you as you leave, so you sit on the train home understanding why everyone you talk to says they really, really suggest the Vegas concept.

So after a couple weeks back at the drawing board, we had a weekend with some sunshine so we had a little roadtrip to the coast and stopped off in some little villages along the way. We found a definite maybe. And that’s something for a project like this, right?

We also found cake. Everywhere. And this is always a very good thing.

Now we need another weekend to go investigate our other drawing board winner, and we might actually have something in the works. Which is good, because you know I am really just wanting to make save the date cards, of course.
