Married in a Barn

About me

Introduction	Hello! My name is Candice and I have been engaged since August 29th, to my boyfriend (now fiancee - I have a really hard time referring to him as that!) of 5 years, Mike. When I started all this wedding planning I had a simple vision. 25 of our closest family and friends and our dog, in a beautiful stone farm house in Italy or France...good wine, good conversation, dancing, and a photographer who would take amazing pictures of the whole affair. Then reality set in, and my boyfriend (fiancee) had the audacity to interject his own ideas about our wedding (the nerve!). So now here I am....on a quest to find the most beautiful barn in the Eastern United States (that looks like the countryside of France or Italy?!) for a small-ish wedding (50-75 of our closest friends and family) with lots of personal and handmade details and a budget of $10,000. *Update - a perfect barn wedding within my budget was never to be found so instead we found the perfect backyard of a very generous friend's private home to have our handmade, rustic, and elegant "garden" wedding!
