To re-cap, we found a wedding reception venue in Ocean City that was almost exactly what we wanted … but the caterer was impossible. After probably 60 more inquiries we found another possibility and went for a visit to the new secret venue. It was beautiful, easy to work with and affordable … but it was really remote. This weekend we looked at two other venues - one we loved but couldn’t afford, one we could afford but didn’t love.
So, after a lot of thought, we made up our mind.
The menu, once we finally heard from the caterer was very well planned and all evidence from other brides and meeting planners indicates that once you get beyond the initial ickiness of working with Silent Bob, the property is great, the on-site operations director is great, the chef is great, etc. So. It’s decided!
We still have a few more key interactions with Silent Bob before it’s a done deal, but I just sent him e-mail confirmation that we’re ready to move forward. Yay!
So, weigh in … is this what you were hoping for or did you think we’d pick the barn wedding? Are you ready to get sand in your shoes?

I’m pretty excited it will be a beach wedding
And I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Silent Bob was just an anomaly and everyone else will be fabulous! I’m sure they will be!
Congrats!

All I really want is to see Don do the Chicken Dance. Beach, barn, it’s all good as long as the Chicken Dance is there and I have a video of Don doing it.

Ooh, I might have to second Chris’ emotion.
But also Suz’s. I think it’s going to be really fun as a beach wedding, although I would have shown up wherever, ’cause it’s you guys and it’s bound to be fun and beautiful no matter what!

Congratulations. Now you can bask in the planning and breath easier. We are happy for you both.

Sometimes making the decision and having it behind you is more important than choosing the perfect thing. However, this sounds like an excellent decision. Way to go!
