Wedding planning begins

I know it's shocking, but I actually have a wedding update...

My mother is coming up on November 30th to bring some used furniture from her house. She's on one of her redecorating binges (it's so insane, it's endearing), and since most of it is in good shape, she's bringing it up to us. I was hoping to have a view of my mother driving a U-Haul truck, but it turns out they're getting a trailer and hitching it to Jim's truck.

Oh yeah... my mom and Jim are back together. Again. Round four? Five? I can't keep track...

Anyway, she'll be up from the 30th to Dec. 2nd, and during the time she's up, we'll look at places for the reception. We're shooting for something in then 75-100 person range. I don't want a large wedding, but I know that there is family and friends to invite, so it seems to be the appropriate size without getting too insane.

The two places I have on the list so far to look at are:

The Westin Providence

Roger Williams Park Casino

The Casino is my preference. Cost is a factor, of course. And whether or not they have dates available. Edited to add... the Casino isn't actually a gambling casino, BTW. It's a large multi-room function hall. :) If we were to have our wedding at a real casino, we'd be heading down into Connecticut. Or Vegas. Or something.

But yes... the plans are beginning. By this time next month, I'll almost certainly have a date to announce.
