You sound like us 3 years ago when we got engaged. We were in love with Villa Lombardi's acutally, but were looking at different venues because of the price, The Meadow Club being one of them. Before we got to even looking there, DH and I were in love with Villa, and I felt that we would regret it if we didnt just find some way to make it work. We did the 'unthinkable' especially in 2008, we booked a Thursday night. We figured it was Memorial Day weekend, kick off to the summer and hoped people would either take off Friday, or just go to work for the one day and be off for the weekend to recover. I'm not going to lie, I wore a smile and had the infamous 'Whoever wants to be there will be there' attitude, but as it got closer I did get nervous. I even was embarrassed at times to tell people the day of the week. I had the lowest expectations so that I would not be disappointed. I expected and empty church, rain, no one to dance, people to leave early. I expected to pay for people that wouldn't be there because there was no way I thought we would meet our minumum. Everything was the exact opposite. Surprised with beautiful weather, a filled church, a packed dancefloor all night, and people stayed until the end! We also not only met 125, we surpassed it with 140! Looking back, it really was the best thing we could have done. It truly was a dream and we were able to achieve everything we could have ever wanted, it was truly perfect. Best of luck to you, and remember those who love and support you will be there no matter what day of the week time etc.

*Edited bc I have spelling ocd and spelled achieve wrong lol
