Mrs. Lamb's Picture
Mrs. Lamb, Norfolk Age and Occupation: 25, Homeland Security Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Graduate Student Engagement Date: January 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Trinity Presbyterian Church/Harrison Opera House About Me: I’m a Homeland Security Consultant with a tendency towards pulling office pranks, taking lunch breaks, and drinking Wawa shakes. I’m also an English major with a serious obsession with alliteration and rhymes. While I’m not keeping America safe, I’m training for half marathons and the Escape from Alcatraz swim. Or moving for the third time this year. Or baking. Or wedding crafting. Or crying about wedding planning. All the while, I’m getting myself into Lucille Ball-esque scrapes and making Jim Carey-esque faces. Our big fat Czech/Baptist/Jewish/Italian wedding is a combination of vintage eclectic, DIY, and little spoonful of sugar from our Event Coordinator. It’s going to be a Norfolk flavored wedding with the verve of an only-daughter-blow-out bash!

Trumpet Sounds! Hallelujah! Angels Singing!

Babies giggling! The whole earth rejoicing! Other various fanfare up the wazoooooo!

Hear ye! Hear ye!

In what was the most momentous week of my life - other than the week I was born - my wooly counterpart and I secured a wedding venue and bought a house.

The Harrison Opera House:

Our house :)

The stress building up to the week was intense. We found the house and pushed through our loan documentation to close in less than 3 weeks. Our search for a venue had stretched over 6 months. I remember feeling a distinct weight being lifted off of my shoulders.

Are you planning a move or house hunting during your wedding planning?

We’re still building our house. Hopefully we’ll be in there by Thanksgiving - 4 months behind schedule. Your house is too cute. :)

OH I AM SO JEALOUS! We have been in the house purchase process for 3 months and counting. It’s a short sale, and everytime we turn around they are telling us we have to wait longer! It’s agonizing; too much stress for words! Come to think of it, our wedding venue search took 3 months too…maybe that’s just our timeframe for everything? Congrats!

Congrats! The house is beautiful and so is the venue. My FI and I just purchased a house as well! We sign the final paperwork on Monday. I know the feeling of stress! Thank goodness it’s over now :)

Thanks bees! Our venue is great, it was just a really long road getting there. Our house WILL BE cute . . . LOL. It’s a fixer upper for sure, but we’re making strides so that it’s move in ready when I move down after the wedding :)
