I received a very scary email on April 2. It was the contract. The thing that will make this all real. All of sudden, my anxieties flared up. Did I research St. Thomas enough? Was there some other location that I didn't see that would have been better? What if the bad reviews of the Wyndham were completely true and the good reviews were just planted there from Wyndham staffers? Or is this really too expensive?
Oh, my poor little brain was in overdrive. I couldn't help it. This was one of the most important decisions I have ever made. If it was just me, it wouldn't matter if it didn't come out perfect but I want this to be perfect for Brian. I quickly forwarded the email on to Brian. I wanted to discuss this all before I sent it off with our $500 deposit.
We looked it over and Brian said the most perfect phrase I needed to hear, "That's all it's going to cost?" The contract price for the ceremony, pre-wedding pampering, cake, ceremony site, flowers, and a bottle of champagne came to be just under half of our budget. This does not include the reception food. He followed up with, "that sounds good to me." I was elated. This is going to work. All this time researching, and reading reviews and pretty much driving myself crazy was over. Now, I could focus on colors and favors and the fun stuff. I am now very excited. The worries have disappeared. We will see how long this lasts but for now I am going to enjoy it.
