teeny tiny rant

Sorry for the absence. I'm shooting for a June 2009 wedding, and places are booking up fast. I had a friggin year before now...why didn't I find a place sooner? Dangit!
Anyways...when did the golf club become "the place" to have weddings? I don't know...I don't like it. Neither Dee nor I play golf. Yes, it's pretty, but it looks like all the other golf club weddings...And there's this unnatural feel about the manicured lawn and neatly placed trees and lakes.
Of course, I guess I shouldn't be talking. I've fallen in love with a venue already...Park Prive. And they're smack dab in the middle of a business park...with a lawn filled with huge rocks. And then there's a vineyard next door. I don't know why, but it just fits into the idea of my wedding. If we're conservative with photography, florals & linens, dj, and favors, we might be able to make it. But of course, this would only work if we had 150 people to attend. So far...the guest list stands at 197. Is it possible that more than 20% of the guest list might not show up?
And the money....oh god the money. *cry*
This is getting to be frustrating! Please share your venue hunting rants!
