Happy New Year!!!

Okay, okay, the new year is 18 days old already, but I don't care, I still wish everyone who reads this a happy new year!!!

After a few weeks of doing nothing, in the preperation of our wedding, we started it up again, because it has to happen in May 2012!! Maaike and I still don't know what Island it will be. Actually the choice is only getting better, while Samos and Santorini probably won't be it. How come? Last Thursday, we took Iris (one of the Schotanus sisters) to a Holidayfair in Utrecht. Ofcourse we went to the Greek section and got all kinds of brochures and we spoke with people. They wanted us to visit the most luxurious hotels and get married there, lots of rooms for our guests (over 500 rooms), jacuzzi's and pools in and around the rooms. Yeah it all looked pretty good! But we have to hit the jackpot before that will ever happen!
Actually we are thinking about letting go of the idea to arrange the stay of our guests. that way you give your guests more freedom to look for something that suits them and their budget. It will also be easier for them to stay as long as they want to, since they book it themselfs. We will put someone in charge of coördinating everybodies stay and maybe look if people can stay at one place if they want, to make it cheaper. But later more on that.
So yes, they offered very beautifull accomodations on that Holidayfair, but a bit to expensive, or we hae to use it for our honeymoon!

In Februari we will visit a weddingplanner, at least we have to make an appointment just yet, but we have the intention to go. So upcomming months will be very exciting, because we want to know where we are going to get married this May or June!
