Probably things that they didn't think to discuss beforehand and thats why, but yeah...<BR/><BR/>it should be noted that the idea of the shawls was originally brought up because i felt like a complete crap ass of a bridesmaid next to captain wedding over here and wanted something to do....we shall see if i suck at it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869600476089432819.post-47219378346533973022007-11-16T19:05:00.000-06:002007-11-16T19:05:00.000-06:00Yeah, I'm pretty much in love with the Scoular Bal...Yeah, I'm pretty much in love with the Scoular Ballroom. And like, if you need to fill room, you can put the presents table in the room, and you were talking about candy bar, and that takes up some space, as well as a real bar. AND if you REALLY needed to take up more space, Haunted House! I have no idea how that one would be pulled off. <BR/><BR/>I don't know, I'm pretty much anti-Alumni because of the super expensive catering. BUT if that's what you WANT, then don't listen to me at all!<BR/><BR/>And, STD for out of townies... I didn't have many of those, so I guess it's probably more necessary for you. Besides. You have Greg making them! :D<BR/><BR/>Dammit, you've got me making multiple posts again.<BR/><BR/>Captain Wedding, away!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572550141791148428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869600476089432819.post-79771001994736665122007-11-16T18:48:00.000-06:002007-11-16T18:48:00.000-06:00You have no idea how excited I am to be Captain We...You have no idea how excited I am to be Captain Wedding. <BR/><BR/>Is the ballroom that much more expensive? I thought it wasn't bad for a Friday night. I know that we got a discount for an August wedding. <BR/><BR/>A girl I work with seems to know of some smaller reception sites in Omaha.<BR/><BR/>OH! One thing we considered, which is completely silly, was the Orpheum! I think that that people have gotten married there before. I'm sure it's ridiculously expensive.<BR/><BR/>Our friends Ben and Shari had their reception at the Western Heritage... I could probably round up some pictures for you. But in the banquet room or whatever, I remember a big mural that possibly had buffalo.<BR/><BR/><BR/>And just to be me, they say you'd be saving 50% on the room rental at the Alumni, but the catering prices are so much higher than other places you'd be able to get your own caterer. I don't know, after seeing what few pictures I have of the Babgy wedding, I'm wondering if the Scottish Rite place might be a decent option. I also haven't heard the most wonderful thing about the bar at the Alumni center... the bar is IMPORTANT! <BR/><BR/>I can start researching again ;)<BR/><BR/><BR/>And holy crap, Vince and Sarah are actually getting married?Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572550141791148428noreply@blogger.com
