Wedding Wednesdays - Location

Happy Wednesday bloggies!

Today I am joining for my first time the Wedding Wednesdays Link-up!

As soon as we were engaged people were asking us if we had picked a date... Starting the wedding planning pressure from day 1! We knew we didn't want a summer wedding, and fall was out of the question what with football season and all... So we chose Februrary because A) We met in February and B) the Spring Break weekend we wanted was already taken.

We did a little research online of venues around town that would fit in our budget and accomodate all of our guests. The first and only place we actually visited and toured was what we picked.

Mission San Luis 02.2014 baby!

This place is b-e-a-uuutiful. We just fell in love with the ceilings and the over all architecure of it. It's as chapel like as a church - without being in a church. One of the selling points was that the entire wedding could be inside, so no matter the weather, the wedding will go on!

Here are some pictures I snagged from a local photographer's website (Terri Smith Photography - she is so great!) to give you an idea of what is to come!

  I just get goosebumps everytime I think about walking down the aisle towards M.E. with our family and friends surrounding us from all sides!
