Wedding Photographer

We're on our way to meet with a possible wedding photography tonight. He comes highly recommended from Tony. Look out for another post tonight....we may have a decision!!

Wedding Mail

Today we received a package in the mail from Jonathan at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills. It included a congratulations letter and a whole bunch of info about preferred vendors.

Well, what do you know - look who is listed as a preferred vendor - wedding photographer Tony Spinelli, aka: my brother!! http://www.tonyspinelliphotography.com/
(His photos are also part of The Barns pamphlet!)

Tony will be a part of our wedding party so unfortunately he can't be our wedding photographer. Don't worry, he so kindly offered to do our engagement photos!! (Did he really have a choice??)

The Happy Couple!!

We figured our blog should include a picture of us!!

Wedding Planner/Organizer

...and the planning begins!!! I picked this planner out at Borders. It was the simplest one I could find. I can't wait to fill it up with our wedding stuff!

SAVE THE DATE ~ July 10, 2010 ~ The Barns at Wesleyan Hills!!!

Ben and I found the perfect place!!

We're Engaged!!!

Ben proposed to me on Friday, April 3, 2009!! Here's how it happened:

On my way home from work, I called Ben to make sure he had picked up the shower gift that I asked him to. We got into an argument because Ben accidentally bought the wrong thing! So, I hung up the phone a bit frustrated, drove home and sat at the computer to figure out what I was going to do about exchanging this gift.

In the meantime, Ben got home and rushed in the door. He was much later that usual...when I asked him "why?" he gave me some silly reasons. Anyways, I stood up and said, "Ben I have to show you something." He said, "No, I have to show YOU something!" Then he asked, "Do you want to sing that song you always sing?" {For those of you that don't know, I like to annoy Ben and sing "Someday (instead of somewhere) Over the Rainbow".... meaning "someday" we'll get engaged.}

So anyways, I said, "No, why would I want to sing that?" He simply replied, "What if someday was now?" I yelled, "What???" As he got down on one knee I then realized what was happening. "Will you marry me?" he said. Again I yelled, "Are you serious???....and began sobbing rather than saying "yes!" Ben, also crying, said, "well, will you?" Finally I said, "YES!!"
