So Ronnie & I had plans for a double date on Friday to actually go downtown for the Christmas River Parade so we were excited to have the chance to really look at which hotels had the best view, etc... Once we got there, I took note of all of the hotels that face the river, lighting, etc.. And I started researching pricing as soon as I could..and just as I suspected, with a wedding my size, to have it at one of these hotels would be around $20,000. Yeah, not so much.
So my dream was short lived and now I'm on the lookout for ANYONE who has connections at these hotels. Because what I'm hearing is that the Friday/Saturday after Thanksgiving is a perfect time because it's usually wide open availability. (Which would mean changing dates but that's OK w/me!) But as far as pricing? I need help! I either need to hit the lottery, find a hook-up or just move on.. I have a feeling it will be the latter.. I will be sprinkling some fairy dust or maybe some fake snow in hopes that we can find a way to pull this off!
I want so badly to get married downtown at that time...because of this:

Hmmm... I wonder if this was my cousin that got married. I believe that was her original spot when she was getting married last year but now it's a different guy and a different year. They live in SA and were getting married on the day after Thanksgiving...
Those pics are amazing...looks like it would be an awesome site. I wish I had connections but I have never even been to SA :( Good luck!
My Fiance and I are getting married on 11/27/10! Unless something crazy happens. So I think that date is an awesome date but I have heard you get better deals on Fridays or Sundays.
Oh that would be so awesome! That would be a magical wedding!
Hi! I was just browsing around and was happy to stumble upon a Texas blogger like yourself :). I just moved far away from Texas and miss it dearly.
I really like your spot here. Come visit mine sometime!
Best wishes.
