We have a barn

We're blessed with one thing. We come from the countryside and my parents still live on their farm. This cuts a huge cost from the budget because we don't have to fork out money on a venue. We'll have the ceremony on a field and the party in the barn. There are lots of space for people to stay, some in the house but also camp out in one way or the other. This means that it's also free for friends and family to stay.

At the moment I don't have pictures because when we visited the last time, a couple of weeks ago, I forgot my camera. We did get rough measurements though so we could start planning.

It's a classic barn with earth floor and huge double doors. The size we have to play with is 9x11.5 m (10x12.5 yds) which isn't huge but considering we're expecting somewhere in the neighbourhood of 60 guests, that's actually perfect. It will have to be cleared of hay bales, straw and as much dust and web as we can get rid of naturally. Until that work begins, I'll finalise the décor plans.
