Just call me a wedding planner...

My co-worker is getting married for the second time next year. She hasn't set a date yet because she is trying to save up money to have a nice wedding (Her FI has never been married before). I know it has been making her a little sad and stressed because she wants it to be special. She didn't want to do the church thing again. So I came up with the idea of having it at my FH's family vineyard!
I went home last night and asked him and he is all for the idea. Their vineyard is actually up on a bluff point (it is where I thought we would get married if we had it here in St Louis) so the ceremony can take place overlooking the valley. My FFIL even owns one of those huge white tents!
Now our boss loves the idea, she wants to donate the food. My co-worker is so excited she can now have a romantic wedding!
Two weddings to plan now!!!
Once we open our winery (in 4-5 years, fingers crossed) I was thinking aout doing the event planning so now I get to test it out. Thanks for letting me share

That's awesome Jen!!!! When you open your vineyard, FH and I are coming for a tasting

That's AWESOME!! Wow that is definitely something to look forward too... your own business!!
(too bad you can't charge NY prices for your space )

Hey robeymuse, which vineyard? One of the ones in the Augusta/Hermann area? I love it out there, it is so pretty!!
Your co-worker is lucky to have someone like you looking out for her!

TwoBugs, they have a vineyard next to Blumenhof Winery(in Dutzow/Washington area)
b/c they don't have a winery yet, they sell their grapes to Blumenhof and Sugar Creek.
It is so beautiful out there!

Thanks everyone! I am more excited to plan her wedding!!! hehehe!

that's great!!

congrats...you're gaining experience and helping a friend in need!

love that you're going to open a winery. i love wineries. good luck with it!
