Wedding planning is in full motion!! As of today we have our church -almost- booked, and then have the reception hall, DJ, and of course photography booked too! AND! I found my wedding dress yesterday!!! It's soooo pretty and it was the first dress I tried on. I tried on about 5 or 6 more after that, but I loved the first dress the second I put it on, and as soon as we added the veil to it everything changed. It made me cry! I love it so much and can't wait for it to come in :)
There are a whole lot of stresses involved though so I am doing everything I can to keep myself sane and not so stressed. Luckily we have everything booked that's huge that I would have to compete for other people with. Just need flowers and cake and the main stuff will be good. And then it's allllllllllll the details which will probably drive me up the wall haha. But it's going well so far.
We set our date for June 4, 2011 so almost 7 months away! :)
I'm going to post some fun pictures from the engagement and our engagement photos :) I realize most people probably won't care, but oh well! The engagement was so sweet, I pretty much knew it was coming but it was wonderful. He picked me up at work and had a dozen red roses with him. No one has ever given me a dozen roses before so that alone was special! He wouldn't tell me where we were going to go, but I had that figured out too ;) He took me to a place called Blue Hen falls which is in the national park here and one of my favorite places to be pretty much ever. It has a small waterfall and is really just very quiet and peaceful. I've been down there so many times taking pictures and have gone to sit and just think and write. Now I have another reason to love it. So we went down to the waterfall and he got down on one knee and proposed :) Of course I said yes! We had gone here back in the summer and he carved our names into a big fallen tree, so we went back to the tree and he carved "engaged 10-1-10" by our names. He wants to go back when we are married and carve our wedding date into it. It was probably the best day of my life so far, and I realize that sounds cheesey but it really was.
We've had our ups and downs since then with various stresses and other things, but he is the one I want to spend my life with. I can't imagine one day without him and it makes me so excited to know that I won't have to.
My ring:
Where it happened!
:)
This is what he carved :)
My beautiful flowers!
The next day at work I was excited and bored and my bosses weren't there, so one of the girls I work with helped me take some photos!
And just a few of our many beautiful engagement photos that my boss took for us. This one is my favorite I think :)
At the moment I am thinking of save the date ideas. I think I am just going to design like a 4x6 card or so with our pictures on it. I think that'll be fun and inexpensive since I can do almost all of that myself! I'd like to put a really pretty/beautiful quote about love or marriage or something on it, does anyone have any ideas of short quotes to use?
