In the last few days before Jon leaves for Boot Camp and AIT , he , Meg and I have looked at three different reception venues for their nuptials ( fancy, eh!) in October.This fire hall was very large, spacious and clean. It's drawback was that all china, food, decorating etc. would have to be arranged for separately.
This near-by hotel banquet room was very nice but the dance floor is small. We would also have to cater this and change the date they had reserved at the church.
The two of them then investigated this third place. It has a huge dance floor, is super spacious and the room is free if one has approximately 150 guests.No problem, there. The meal is prepared by them at a very reasonable price and china, linens and clean up is all included.The best part is that it was only available for one more date in the months of Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec.That just happened to be the date that they had arranged with our parish priest! They booked it!
They wanted to get the little guy out in the pretty weather and invited the kids and I to join them at the park.
It is wonderful to have a date firmed up both at the church and at a reception hall. Jon is spending as much time as he can with Meg and Grant before he leaves for more than 4 months on Monday morning.We will miss him.
We will also be feeling his pain as we know that he will be missing in addition to his fiancee, his little son. He has spent time with him almost every day since he was born.
Jon has become more and more a member of the family.We appreciate all the sacrifices that he is about to make in the service of our country and to better prepare for a successful future. This is a guy that you want to be on your side in a fight so the Armed Services will lucky to have him! Best of luck to you, Jon.
