Rewind:

Colt and I live a very fast pace life style. We work hard to play hard so that means that our Monday – Saturday schedules are usually jammed packed with 50+ hour work weeks, work outs, errands, meetings, appointments etc., so it’s no surprise that Sunday mornings are Colt and I’s special time. It’s usually the only guaranteed day we get off together so we always try to enjoy it to the fullest. Whether it’s waking up early and watching football, packing up and going to the beach, laying lazy in bed all day, going on an island adventure, hanging out with friends and family or just enjoying each other’s company it’s always a great time.

Sunday January 8^th

With that being said Sunday is also the only day we can both physically be together in the same place during normal business hours. So the fact that this Sunday we were meeting with  MaryAnn in the lobby at 9a.m. to sign our contract and paperwork was becoming the “norm.” (We are really so lucky that she has been so flexible and is always willing to work around our schedules).

She greeted us at 9a.m. on the dot with her always confident and beautiful smile. Her energy was high as usual but today she was particularly excited. She quickly motioned for us to hurry up and told us she couldn’t wait for us to see the ballroom. Hustling through the grand she talked and laughed the whole time about how excited she was that we were able to work out such  a great space and how much we were going to love it. She took us on the path our guests would use and pointed out the bathrooms, private areas and smoking sections that they would be able to utilize. As we rounded the corner to the ballroom we came up to a banquet table set up and beautifully draped with linen with breakfast and refreshments waiting for us. She was always going above and beyond and making us feel special. We thanked her and then walked over to the ballroom which sits directly behind the outdoor space. The ballroom was beautiful and offered high ceilings with constant flow. She visualized the set up and of course it was perfect.

As we moved back to the outside area we sat down and began to eat while she talked about some new ideas she had. She had been thinking and she knew the only thing that wasn’t sitting right with me was the indoor / indoor space so she created a new space and we were sitting in it! Right outside the ballroom doors where that beautiful breakfast table was set up was actually a mock set up for us to see where we would be hosting our dinner. I could hardly believe my eyes it couldn’t have been more perfect! A chapel ceremony, followed by an outdoor cocktail party / dinner and a ballroom reception!

All the pieces were fitting perfectly as we nervously and excitedly signed the dotted line and agreed to our fairytale dream wedding.
