Jenelle and I are in northern Michigan - Traverse City in particular - visiting wedding vendors and trying to sort things out. In this case, sorting means trying like crazy to discern what the advertised price includes and how much beyond that point we are responsible for covering, little things like washing dishes and things to drink from. There's also a never-ending dialogue about what we need and what we want; ivory china versus white china doesn't seem like a big deal at first but it becomes an issue upon a pile of others which, in total, make decisions very difficult. Compounding the process' complexity is a time factor that varies between vendors by multiples of three to five. Comparing apples to apples is easy enough, but when some of the proverbial apples aren't quite ripe yet the thing gets tricky. Ultimately, though, it really is pretty fun putting our ideas together and trying to make everything the best it can be.
