Under the shade of an oak tree

okay so close your eyes, and imagine this sun setting on a late June afternoon, standing under the shade of an old oak tree gazing out onto an adorable little pond with an adorable little building with an adorable wrap around porch in the background. Sounds pretty perfect right? well whats even more perfect than that? Im getting married in that. yep thats right, be jealous.

I just got home from a venue meeting with mama Doctor and Daddy Doctor (sadly Mr. Coastie couldnt be here) and Im proud to say the decision is unanimous. I have found my venue. Im going to book it tomorrow so while its not officially official im still very excited.

So the place is the Retreat at Bradley's Pond, its more wonderful than wonderful and im so excited about getting married here and I can envision the perfectness of it. okay okay enough chatter let me show you
