Alright, I just got engaged.

[GGG]

Be careful picking the date, put it on a long weekend and you now have plans booked for that long weekend for years to come

pick somewhere near her birthday and you can combine presents forever

Not only that, you will annoy alot of people...

I curse people who have weddings on long weekends.. You arent that special to me, no matter who you are.

My sister is getting married at the Calgary Zoo. Weird I thought, but apparently it was just voted the 5th best place in Calgary to get married or something.

She wants to do it on a long weekend, without a DJ/MC. Not sure how that would work. I'm trying to convince her otherwise, on both. No long weekend and a DJ and MC are a must I think. At least it isn't for another year.

The date is a week away from her b-day.

haha combining is a bad idea, but having it that close means its easier to remember both days (or forget both) lol

Alright, anyone have any contacts for chair cover and/or chair rentals?

What about a tent that will seat 150ish people for our ceremony?

Thanks in advance.

That stuff is redonk expensive. Do you really need a tent for the ceremony? A 10'X10' from the place I was looking is $325.00.

I'd like to know about chair rentals too. And do we have to set up the chairs or will the delivery guys do this?

From the research we have done it seems that the tent will almost be a grand. Since we don't have a plan B incase of rain we will need the tent just in case, I would also welcome the shade standing outside in a black suit at 3 in the afternoon in August.

From most places we have talked (if you want to spend less than $1000) they dont even deliver. That is why I am going to CP for help.

What? They don't deliver? How are you getting CP to help you? Hiring a bunch of guys with trucks?

Can you use the same chairs for dinner and the ceremony at least? Or do you have to rent different ones for each activity. I know our chairs were about $5/each. Annoying, especially considering we only used them for 30 minutes.

Check the Farmer's Almanac for the predicted weather on the day!! It was right for us. If it rains could you move your ceremony into the hall instead? Or would it already be all set-up for dinner?

I just don't know what the chances are that it would be pouring with rain all day in mid-August so that you'd even need the tent. But I get where you're coming from... if it was my wedding I'd want a Plan B for the ceremony, too!!

We can use the same chairs for the dinner and the ceremony, they would just have to be moved in between the two.

I kinda want to have the tent to give us some shade, it would also be somewhere for people to kill time in between the ceremony and the and the reception.

The hall will be set up for the reception. It is a great place for a dinner but I dont really want to have the ceremony there.

Oh, and make sure you pop that kid out early, we dont want to have your water breaking as Mrs. Boblobla is walking down the aisle.
