Friday, July 11

On Friday, my mom and I went to the Tides to sign the contract for the ceremony and reception. My mom had never been to the Tides, so she was excited to see what it looked like. My appointment with Tom, our banquet manager was at 3pm, so we went a little early to look around. After we looked around, it was time to meet with Tom to get the contract all settled. As he was writing up the contract, we came up with some questions that he answered for us, while we were waiting. Tom finished the contract, and I had to give him a check for the deposit. It was so weird writing a check for that much money!! He explained all the fine print on the contract, and had me sign all the pages, and we were done!!!

So, it was finally official!! We are booked for Friday, August 28th at the Tides in North Haledon. Our ceremony will be held at 6:30pm with the reception from 7pm-12am.

As it gets closer, we will have to give another payment, and we will have to choose our menu items, cocktail hour food, and what type of cake we will have. I can't wait for all of that, I wish we could do it now!!!!

After we finished with Tom, I dropped my mom off at home, and I went to a scrapbook crop in Mahwah, where I would spend the rest of the weekend scrapbooking!!
