#40 Groom Interrupted

Big Takeaways Sometimes a leap of faith is necessary, and if you both feel good about it, do it! In Dre’s case, he and Andrea signed a contract and paid a deposit on a venue, sight unseen. When they did get a chance to visit it, they were pleasantly surprised (and relieved), but they also knew that once the deposit was paid, they were going to have to make the venue work no matter what, so compromises were on the horizon. One big compromise - PORK! Money and budgeting for a wedding Advice to brides Planning the ‘fun stuff’ Another big compromise was the guestlist - Andrea wanted 200 guests, Dre wanted 100 or less. Ultimately, the venue decided for them since it has a max capacity of 150. This happens a lot - the venue is such a HUGE decision because it directly informs the wedding date, the overall budget, and the guestlist. Not to mention the look and feel of a wedding. This couple fell in love with a ranch in California, and that decision means that Andrea has to drastically cut back her guestlist.
