Venue Hunting

We will be going to look at a venue today, and let's face the music, everybody knows that ultimately the bride is going to have the last word on the space for the reception.  So, in order to keep my mind stimulated, I think of other things that the space could be used for.  For example, a few months back we went to look at a place called the Ribbon Mill.  The ball room is very complex, it's rustic and modern at the same time.  The ceilings are very high, and there are columns about every eight feet down the middle of the room.  What does this set up cry out to me?  Dodgeball!!!  Since I knew that this would never be, I began to take in the aura of the room.  What do I mean by that?  Well, by that i mean what type of liquor I would be drinking during the reception.  The answer to that is a bit unusual for my list of usual suspects, but I would have to go with Maker's Mark, on the rocks, with the most minuscule splash of lime.

Remember to listen for the questioning inflections directed toward you in your bride's voice whilst you are daydreaming, because this is going to require some sort of response from you.  Tell her what you think she wants to hear, and then continue to venture back to your happy place.
