Mother of a soon to be Bride: "The Venue"

Today Alysse had to fly back to school. We had two items on our "to do" list for Christmas break, the dress & the venue. We accomplished them both! After calling several locations, looking countless hours on line and visiting four locations, we made a decision. We picked The Ballantyne Resort...It is BEAUTIFUL! It had everything we were looking for and more. However, I had to share all the research with "The Father of the Bride" I laid out my comparison worksheet explaining all the details. His eyes just glazed over.... I kept showing him all the money we were going to save by choosing various options.... All he saw was the money we were going to spend!
