I am just updating everyone on the status of the wedding planning, which is that there is nothing new to update. lol. I have scowered the internet, Greg and I went to look at a place in Candia, but that is about it.
We liked the place: http://www.candiawoods.com/sites/courses/newpage.asp?id=410&page=11275
but as the stock market continues to dive and people continue to lose their jobs, it is so scary to put a deposit down on something so expensive (and this place is the cheapest we have been able to find anywhere). So we don't know what to do. We both want a nice wedding and reception (not over the top, just nice), that isn't just a BBQ at a friends house, but at the same time I think it is extremely vital to be financially responsible in the next couple of years, given our nations current economic crisis. So what is more important, a fun day or financial stability? Obviously financial stability...but not having our family and friends be able to get together to celebrate with us is depressing. :( I don't know what to do and it is totally stressing me out.

I can relate. Difference is I've only been stressing for a week and you've been doing it for 5 months! Keep up your spirits -- don't let months of stress precede what is supposed to be one of the best days of your life!
Actually, things are going pretty well for me right now. I haven't put any downpayments on, but I basically have a hall, a church, a photographer, and a DJ. (we'll probably make our own food)
So far the est. cost for the church/hall/photographer/DJ is under 2,000.
Oh, and Karen told me to tell you I had a friend who planned a wedding in three weeks. She thought you'd get a kick out of that.
The photographer quoted me $500 for 6 hours, but I only wanted a CD with the pictures so I could make my own photo album. this is his website: http://www.wingsmillsphotography.com/Maine_Wedding_Photographer/Welcome.html .
The DJ I'm still not sure if I'm going to go with him or not, because he has mostly Christian music but I'm not sure about what the rest of his library consists of and he said $400 for I think 4 hours, including meeting before the wedding to discuss what we'd want to hear.
