So, tbj has basically said the finding of a venue is up to me. which is fine. i like titting about on the internet researching stuff, and i also like planning, so i was more than up for the challenge.
but it's soooooooooo hard!!!!!!!! *whines into oblivion*
I had an original plan, which was to stick with locations that mean something to us, and then find somewhere cool around there, but it's just not working....
Brighton - everything's super hotel-y, and whilst it's pretty, it's just not 'me'. the one place i did find, they didn't show up when i went to meet them, which doesn't fill me with confidence.
London - this is not exciting tbj. He wants somewhere with some green space. i tried suggestion London Zoo, but that didn't really fly. i couldn't care less about green space, but as this is really the only criteria he has, it would be mean and plain old disrespectful to not work with it.
Isle of Wight - i really thought faded seaside glamour would be plentiful, but it's either super old and run down, or updated and bland. There's nothing with character, and there's loads of country houses which do nothing for me.
argh!!!!
i know i'm being whiney, but it's very disheartening that nowhere seems to be even approaching right.
:O(
i'm being miserable, and what i need to do is figure out a way to fix this. positivity and adaptability!!!
