November 24th, 2007



well, I guess as long as I'm breaking my promise, I might as well not stop at reading, huh?

Mom and I went to visit our friends the Lamos' ranch in Ojai today. They have offered it to us to use for the wedding if we want. Jesse and I hadn't talked about the option of an outdoor wedding. I always wanted one when I was younger (ever since Uncle Todd and Aunt Paula had theirs when I was 10) but recently, the thought hadn't occurred to me. Outdoor weddings have too many variables--it was scary to me! Just weather alone... But we're looking at June, which is the most temperate month we have--and oh! outdoor weddings are just so beautiful.

The Lamos' ranch is unbelievable. I couldn't ask for something more perfect. The grounds are just perfect for a wedding--like it was designed with that in mind. There is a large grassy area for the ceremony, with a beautiful rose trellis arch and pink rose bushes surrounding the whole area, a cobble stone pathway, a beautiful pool and jacuzzi on the patio off to the right, complete with a pool house/ guest house with surround sound! There is a water fountain, and magnolia trees, wisteria, crepe murtle, and roses everywhere. It is so perfect. I took pictures for Jesse, but they don't do it justice. I want him to see it!

Of course, I can't get my hopes up, because we hadn't really talked about it beforehand, and I still haven't heard how he would feel about it. I'm looking forward to a calm time this week when we can talk about it and see what happens! But ooooh! It is SO beautiful!
