Why My Dad Is THE BEST!

A few weeks had gone by and we still had not chosen a venue. Not because we couldn't decide, but because my parents and I were so busy and we hadn't had a chance to really discuss it. I knew where I wanted to have it. My Mom knew where would be perfect. My Dad could see it in my eyes exactly where I wanted it to be at, but I would never say I want it here, because of the different logistics...

A few weeks after we had visited the Stowe Mountain Lodge I got an email from Heidi, saying that there was another couple that was very interested for June 5th, 2010 at their venue....oh great....the stress and anxiety was kicked up a level, so I just forwarded the email to my Dad. I might also add that we had not hired our wedding planner at this point yet, so we had no one on our side working for us. So STRESS. I figured I would just let my parents handle it, I honestly didn't care where they chose, I was already so happy because I was marrying the love of my life, so what else did I need?

It was Friday, July 17th, I was just sitting at my desk, anxiously waiting for 2pm for when I could leave for the weekend, and I was also planning on meeting my Mom, sister, and Memere to go to my first dress appointment. As I was watching the minutes pass slowly by, all of a sudden an email popped up from Carrie, the wedding planner...hmm interesting? So I open it and it said "Welcome to our services!" Ummm OH MY GOD! I kept reading and it said that she had been in contact with the Stowe Mountain Lodge and they have put it on hold for us for June 5th, 2010. OH MY GOD. I instantly was overwhelmed with emotion and just bawling at my desk. My Dad had just gone ahead and hired Carried, booked the exact venue I wanted, and completely, and utterly surprised me. I should have known that my Dad always seems to pull through for me, and always knows whats best. I called my Mom right away, and she had no idea either that my Dad had done this, and she started crying as well. Thinking about that moment I could not express how filled with joy and happiness I was.

This is why my Dad is the best!

SO Venue, check!
