The wedding planning is officially underway, and Golden Gardens has been booked for the wedding venue! I called ahead to get the information on reserving the Golden Gardens Bathouse for our wedding ceremony and receiption, and the parks department informed me that applications were taken on a first come first serve basis, and that she had seen people line up as early as 4 am to reserve their date. So at 3:30 am on Friday morning Hannah and I woke up and headed over to the parks department to reserve my day. When we got there already two other brides were in line, luckily they were reserving different dates than the date I wanted, so by 4 am 3 of the 4 Saturdays in July were already spoken for.
As the morning went on more brides showed up, and the early morning swimmers going to the pool next door entertained us with their speculations as to why a line up of 10+ women were camped outside the parks department office. We were asked if we were protesting, having a bible study, or tailgaiting for the pool! My favorite was when someone told me I couldn't possibly be getting married because I looked only 16! Maybe I should go out with out make up more often... :)
Around 6:50 am the office opened and by 7 am I had successfully reserved our date of 7/7/2012! Now the real planning can finally get started!
