I took a deep breath on Monday morning and while I was still frustrated, we still had some appointments. I screwed up the time for our first appointment, so we got downtown a bit late.
Crow Collection of Asian Art
This is a really cool space and we both really liked it. It was less than the Arboretum, but still not exactly "budget". Still, we figured if we had a smaller guest list, we could have made it work. The plus here is that you could have both the ceremony and reception in one spot and Jennifer is so responsive. They seemed really flexible too, so you could really make it whatever you wanted to.
Our next appointment wasn't until 3, so we did what any true Dallasite would do and went to North Park mall for some lunch and shopping.
Zander's House
At 3 we went back to Zander's House to speak with the man in charge. He was definitely shady and the "deal" he was giving us wasn't that great. They are still an option for us, but I felt a lot less sure about this spot after our meeting. Hmmm, what to do what to do?
We tried to change our plane tickets to leave that evening, but no such luck, so we had dinner with the old folks and hit the sack early. Early Tuesday morning we were headed back to NYC and I felt even more lost than before the trip! UGH, I'm not sure how it all got so complicated and difficult, and I always knew I wasn't cut out for wedding planning, but this was beyond ridiculous.
So that's where we are. A week later and we haven't made any decisions. The one good thing is that B, in his infinite wisdom, decided to do some leg work on his own to take some of the stress off me. This past weekend we did some thinking and may have a plan of action...and a date! Confirmation to come in the next few days when we secure the venues.
