Wedding Frenzy!

Well to catch up from where I last left off...4th of July weekend at Canyon Lake was so fun! It was so great so some of my best girl friends and hang out with friends I hadn't seen in a while! We had an absolute blast...thank you Hayley, Mike and Sherry!

Now on to a serious wedding crisis...

Turns out that our wedding- April 2, 2011- is the same weekend as the NCAA Final Four which is being held at Reliant Stadium. The NCAA has a hold on all Houston and surrounding hotels- not to mention that the rates are bumped up, as well.

For the past 48 hours my mom and I have been completely distraught and clueless as to what we should do about this. We have called, what I feel like, every hotel in Houston and all are booked for this weekend. This means- no where for guests to stay, no where for the wedding party to stay and get ready and no where for Galen and I to stay on our wedding night.


You might say "Just change your date!" Well, our reception venue is booked all the way until July which is just insane, there is no way I am waiting that long and we've already put the downpayment on it anyways.

Galen even took it upon himself to call the NCAA! At first, I told him "You're crazy!" and then he informed me that he had made his way all the way up to the Director of Events for the NCAA...still no luck...but very cool!

We are trying to get creative and improvize on possible ways to solve this problem. As for now, we are keeping our date and just waiting out the situation while trying to beg and bribe every hotel in Houston.

Wish us luck!
