Quick Wedding Update

My parents, Steve and I drove up to the Interlaken Inn yesterday to check it out. It's not exactly as I had pictured... but nothing ever is. It was beautiful, the staff was very nice, and the reception hall/guest accomodations were awesome. And they have the date we want. (10/10/10!!!)

I only hesitate because the beautiful lake-side ceremony I had pictured in my head is not going to jive with the space they actually have. There isn't much room by the lake, and reall you can only have a traditional aisle. I really want to have a peace-sign shaped "aisle" so that my FH and I can be escorted by our parents simultaneously and meet in the center (then go down the rest of the aisle together).

There are other options at the Interlaken, we don't HAVE to do the ceremony by the lake. There are other lawns that might work... but, they're not as pretty... so... I dunno.

So far, they're still my favorite venue, but we're still looking. I definitely want an inn/hotel with an outdoor setting that can accomodate up to 200 people if necessary. We're in CT, so if you know of any places that would fit the bill, let me know!
