I have been able to book two of the most important things over the last week.  I was really stressed over these two things and now that they are done I think I'll be able to relax a little and enjoy some of the smaller things to come.

1. Venue - Coloma Country Inn - they provided enough of what I wanted for the right price.  www.colomacountryinn.com.  
2. Photographer - Stout Photography with lead photographer Dave Shilling.  www.stoutphoto.com  They did the photos for another wedding at the Coloma Country Inn and they turned out really nice.  http://blog.stoutphoto.com/2009/10/13/coloma-country-inn-wedding-jessica-and-mike/

Now I'm on to the next item - caterer...
