Budgets & Bargaining

We meet with our (potential) wedding venue this weekend. If all goes as planned this will be our wedding location. When we went to look at it the first time, the coordinator told us everything we wanted to hear. Like we won't "nickle and dime" you and they swore the per person price they quoted us included tax and tip. I am in fear that when we go there this weekend all of those things will change and the location will become out of our reach, as it is already at the top of our budget. I think I am going to spend the next few days looking over sample venue contracts and writing down everything we need and what we can afford. Blah but making budgets is depressing! But I guess also necessary. Blah. Hopefully I will be able to post more exciting news after Sunday!
