The Ceremony Site

Barring rain, long lines on January 2nd and/or construction we will be getting married in the Rose Garden at Loose Park in Kansas City, MO. The Rose Garden and the duck pond hold special meaning to Micheal and I as we spent a lot of time just hanging out and feeding the ducks.

The logistics: Since the garden is SO popular they only let you reserve for the current business year. Which means all reservations for the year don't start until January 2nd. So brides and grooms to be literally camp out in line in January to try and get their desired date and time! For us it shouldn't be too bad since we're getting married on a Sunday but I'll still be waiting in line with all the other hopefuls!

Another hitch - they are closing the rose garden in August to start construction/renovations. The bonus - IF they get done it should be as beautiful as ever! The drawback...they say it should be done by next year but aren't willing to commit to that. Yikes!

Here are some pictures!
