Wedding update

For her wedding, a friend of mine recently looked into renting the grounds and lodge of a small local ski resort (Arctic Valley), located in the Chugach Mountains above Anchorage. For a 24-hour period, it costs $2,900 all-inclusive (grounds, lodge, equipment rental). I think my eyes bugged out a bit when she said that.

I am so thankful that our facility rental for the Tern Lake Inn is much less than that. We have the whole Inn reserved for 3 full days (not just 24-hours) and are able to use their tables/chairs/glassware as part of the rental. Plus the owners will set-up/take-down and clean up everything afterwards. Yes!

I'm happy to report that my wedding shoes have arrived! After tearing into the box and nervously trying them on, I was relieved to discover that they fit and are beautiful. I know green is an unconventional choice for wedding shoes, but I don't want to look back on our day and have it resemble all of the other cookie-cutter weddings out there. D and I are unique and our wedding should reflect that.
