Wedding Planning - France


Even though we are already officially married since July 1st 2011. It all happened at San Francisco beautiful City Hall. My hubby and I have decided to get married in front of our families. After much debate on where to get married. we wanted to go for a destination wedding, we look at various exotic islands in the Caribbean, half way between our families (based in California & France). After assessing costs, we realized that although we dreamt of a destination wedding, this would mean that many people would not be able to afford to come and celebrate with us.
What was more important for us was the fact that we wanted to celebrate with our friends and family which meant we would have to organize two weddings (on top of our City hall wedding). why have one wedding when you can have three????
Beautiful apple trees

Anyway it was all decided : Wedding number 2 will be in France, in the village where i grew up and where my parents were married. Wedding number 3 will be somewhere in California.
The first thing I did was to look at long weekends (we call them Bank holidays back in Europe), so friends and family could make a long weekend out of it. After talking to the priest in La Guerche De Bretagne, the date was picked : May 5th, 2012.
Now to find the venue, I found this lovely venue only 30 mns away from my parents: le Manoir du petit corce.  It has a massive apple trees field which should be in flowers at the time of the wedding. How exciting!
