Well, change of venue and change of day. What can we say? We're tricky.
Our wedding will be on ...wait for it... September 11th of 2010! I know, I know. Why would we have it on September 11th, you ask? Well, because that was the only day the historic Riviera Ballroom in Lake Geneva had an opening (gee, I wonder why?) and because, as Brian so eloquently put it, "we can't let the terrorists win!"
There you go.
The backyard reception at my parents would have been beautiful; however, all of the rentals were adding up - along with weather, parking and outdoor worries. The Riviera is fantastic and we were lucky to book it. My sister had a winter wedding there and I have never seen anything so beautiful (ala Janice Borri). So, our glamourous 30's like theme will be gorgeous in this old building. It is right on Lake Geneva and in the heart of the little town itself.
Lake Geneva, although a resort town, is where I basically grew up - 'cruising' the blocks in our cars in high school...Pizza Hut after the basketball games....frequenting Champs when I turned 21. Even my junior and senior prom were held at the Riviera (which now shocks me because that had to be a pretty penny for our school!).
This is 'home' for me - and what's even better is that Brian LOVES it. Even as I looked at other places, he kept bringing me back to this one.
So - save the date! (We think it will be easy to remember...) And we still have plans to mix this wedding up a bit - don't think just because we're in a fancy old ballroom that we plan on being all dignified...
