Another Castle

A long time ago, in a land that seems oh-so-far away, I started researching castles in the United States where you can get married. Well, I'm pretty sure I stumbled across Castle Ladyhawke, "A taste of Europe in the North Carolina Highlands," but I had kind of forgotten about it by the time there was actually a wedding to plan - probably because at the point when I was researching wedding venues, I really wasn't thinking it was ever going to happen. Oh ye of little faith. Now I feel a little ashamed for ever having doubt. As I look at this gorgeous, well thought-out, carefully chosen ring and the enormous promise of forever and ever that came with it, I wonder how I could have missed the signs. To be honest: the words were there, but it seemed too good to be true. Silly me. Look where life is taking me - no, us - now.

Anyway, so I re-stumbled upon Castle Ladyhawke, and we are going to take a tour in December! It's about 3 1/2 hours from our house in NC, and I'm very excited because it is the first venue that we actually have (so far) agreed wholly upon. We are both quite interested, and that is super super super exciting. It's the most possible of all possibilities so far.

The venue looks so beautiful, and you can actually stay in the castle. There is also lodging on the property, a sort of village, for some of the guests to stay as well. It seems really neat, but we will have to see what happens. If this isn't it, there will be another special place for us. It's just a matter of finding it. Funny how this was almost right under our noses!
