Getting Started!!

Needless to say, this process is very intense and stressful. I'm lucky to have a fiance who wants to help and be a part of the wedding planning. I do not know what I would do if Edd was not here helping make decisions!
We checked out our first venue option tonight. It was Creekside in Gahanna, Ohio. They have a very nice location overlooking a river...the only negative was we thought the space was too narrow and too enclosed. I would like a space that is very wide open and has high ceilings.
We are putting all options in a cool spreadsheet in order to figure out financials. (Thanks Mike!) If anyone knows the Vilt brothers-they know they are born to be planners!

I have my first appointment to try on dresses with my mom and sister in September! I'm so excited to see what Pat Catan has to offer! There are a lot of places in Columbus that I would like to try as well-so the dress hunt begins!

We have tentatively decided for September 18th-but that solely depends on our venue and whether or not they have that date available. We will definitely keep everyone posted!

A couple of our friends gave us some books to read about weddings. There is a groom's book that Eddie has actually started reading tonight. :) too funny!

Everyone was very shocked when I stated I had my wedding book all put together already. Just to clarify-I have the basics in there. It is not an extensive book yet. Mostly all the information that I gathered from the bridal show on Sunday.

Also-I have focused my efforts on Bridal Bootcamp for myself. I have 12 months and 2 weeks...the countdown to chiseled arms. :)

That's it for now! Have a great week everyone!

Edd & D.

Welcome to our blog!

We are so excited to announce that we are engaged! Yes-everyone has said "It's about time" so I know what you are thinking, however, it was definitely worth the wait! Below is the crazy photo we took after we got engaged. The wind completely took the umbrella that we were holding which made us both crack up laughing-so not the best pic, but funny! Below is the picture of the ring-also, not the best picture. You will have to see it in person. Edd and Lenny the Jeweler designed the ring together which I thought was so special!

The Proposal

Edd and I were vacationing with my family in Traverse City, MI when he popped the big question. We had went to dinner for our date night and then walked out on a pier next to the marina. It had been very rainy that day and gross out, but just as we walked out to the pier it had stopped raining. We spotted a rainbow and I proceeded to take a picture of it. When I turned around to Edd, he was down on one knee...it was so romantic!

I was very surprised seeing as how we just signed on a house before we had left to vacation! It was an amazing vacation and I will never forget how wonderful the proposal was!

Our first bridal show was today! I was so overwhelmed-I wanted to cry the whole way through! Everyone says it gets better and to not stress out-but I'm stressing!

Eddie and I are thinking sometime September 2010...we will keep you posted.

As of our family vacation-below are some pictures from our trip! Enjoy!
