Wedding Frustration

As some of you may or may not know I'm getting married at the end of the year. Well I've just been so stressed and I needed to vent.
Ok well we have a budget our parents are both gonna pay the same amount and we have to pay whatever else that money doesn't cover. We got our caterer and reception site. But we're having so much trouble finding a ceremony site, lots of places don't do 'ceremony only' and it's had to find a chapel/church because we are 2 diff religions. We need to find a place that doesn't have a cross or saints and of course there isn't any, we found one place but since our wedding is gonna be in December they're gonna have a Christmas tree out and wouldn't be able to take it out for that day and I don't want it. I know that's a bit extreme considering we haven't found any and it's just a tree but hey just like a lot of girls I've been planning and picturing my wedding since I was a little girl. We've gone to hotels but they're just don't fit our budget. Ahhhhh, I just don't know what to do, I seriously have never been stressed before, school was never stressful for me, I never knew what it felt like until now, and I HATE it!!! Stress is horrible on my skin and instead of losing weight like most of the women in my family I'm blowing up like a balloon. Since we are officially married, we got married last year 12/30 and this year is the BIG wedding w/all our family and friends, I feel like just not having the wedding at all anymore. All I do is cry cause it's so stressful. Sorry for the long post but I just needed to vent, I've been having a horrible time with all this and it's just the beginning I know it'll get worse later and I don't even want to think about it.

So if anyone lives in Southern California in Orange county or around there know of any place to have a wedding/ceremony please let me know. I've gone to this place called the Garden Room in Garden Grove but the only problem was that they only allow a certain amount of time to use the facility and it wasn't enough for our family. If you know of any place like that

i'm sorry about all the stress going on. i dont live in cali, but i have a couple of suggestions on where to have the ceremony. maybe a park or your backyard, since ur doing in around christmas and it might be cold in cali, maybe u could rent some of those outdoor heaters? IMO it would be cheaper. good luck!

Do you ever go to theknot.com ? They have local message boards for just about every place in the country. Maybe one of the brides there can make some suggestions for you. Also try contacting your local Parks and Rec dept. , historical societies, country clubs, garden clubs, etc. I know in my area those kind of associations usually own some kick-ass spaces that can be rented.
I work for a wedding coordinator, and got married myself a few years ago, so I know it's crazy stressful. If you need any advice about your planning, feel free to PM me.
