Let the planning begin

Hooray! We FINALLY have a date. So I'm a little miffed though that Van Dusen was taking bookings during the strike and did not inform me of this when I first contacted them. It just means though that we didn't get our first choice of dates but we did get our second so September 13, 2008 it is! Oh it feels so good to actually have something secured now. However poor dear fiance of mine will now get the joy of hearing me plan and sort out all the other details to come. He's a very good sport though and I think secretly deep down he likes it. However there still comes the fact that we have not viewed the actual location we picked to be married in so I will still have to contact them sometime next week and set up a viewing. Also we do not have a contract drawn up since that has to be done with the booking coordinator who doesn't know when she will be back to work. The lovely strike...um strikes again? The inside workers have made an agreement but the outside workers have not so until everyone is happy, no one works at Van Dusen yet. Oh well the most important thing is we've reserved the date, it's more than 11 months away and now we can start planning all the rest of the fun stuff. YEH!
