I had the greatest discoveries to share with everyone this month, but they will have to wait. Instead, I'll share a circumstance in which the future Hubs and I found ourselves who they say we'll laugh about years, but we have not yet quite found funny.
With less than five months until our big day, our original wedding venue have ceased to exist. We had to find a new location for the ceremony and reception.

- Review your contracts and understand what you need. At this point, we had paid deposits everywhere. We focused on the place of first origin and pushed to a refund by the original language indicated. Other contracts to suppliers are not affected (photographers and DJs are flexible enough), but another wanted more compensation for the transport of goods greater distance. (Yes, we will pay you all you need to safely deliver these delicious cupcakes.)
- Look around you who can be affected. We had already booked our honeymoon, so of course I considered eloping. "How would it be bad really if we just sent a" Ignore the date!

Moreover, I am to eager to embrace again all my family and hug many Future Hub of the family for the first time. This idea came and went quickly.
It was a learning experience to say the least. Above all, the future Hubs and I reaffirmed what really matters in a relationship at the end of the day. We are in this together through thick and thin ... but this honeymoon that will help you.
