Justin & Keely

Even with all the planning and organizing it was bound to happen at some point, we hit our first bump in the road. On November 5^th the 2008 calendar for the Omaha parks opened up, and after 3 hours of waiting and calling, calling and waiting I found out that Justin and I would not be able to have our wedding ceremony at Mt. Vernon Gardens. Unfortunately another bride beat me out, hard to imagine I know!! After a long day (or two or three) of pouting and crying I came to terms that we had to find another spot. Luckily Justin and I weren’t alone in the search. All of my wonderful bridesmaids, my mom and Justin’s mom were searching with us and sending us lists of possible places to look at.

 After looking at many, many parks Justin and I decided that we will have our ceremony at Memorial Park in Omaha. It is a huge park not too far from our apartment, has a lot of great areas for pictures and a beautiful rose garden for our ceremony.  

Problem solved for now, but I’m sure we’ll come along a few more in the months to come. A lesson for any Omaha bride out there thinking of doing a garden wedding…..have a plan B park picked out, and maybe have 20 of your closest friends call in with you that November morning.
