You have to post a pic of that bouquet! What a cool idea....as for the house....I agree to go to the bank and see what you even qualify for. When my husband and I went to buy our first house my credit was way worse than his so we qualified for more money if he applied by himself and put my name on the deed later.
Once I got my credit score back up we were able to get a loan together for all the construction costs on the new house.
Go see a realtor and see if you can find a bank that specializes in farm loans....sometimes you can do better if you work with someone that is familiar with the ins and outs of purchasing a farm.
awww, the big day is fast approaching! what are ya'll doing for the after time? going to hawaii? paris? rome? mars? camping in the mountains? are you bringing all of us with you?
