Engaged!

Yep, it's happened to me! Alexander proposed on December 20, 2008 in the very same restaurant we met just over three years ago (December 9, 2005). I cried like a baby and made him repeat what he said because I could not even remember. I was so excited that I could not even finish my dessert. That never happens! All I know is I said yes!

The ring is a beautiful round center diamond set with small round accent "hearts on fire" diamonds and a band of round accent diamonds in white gold. The center stone sits high so you can see the entire diamond. It truly is a work of art. I LOVE it, and the fact that Alexander picked it out himself makes it even more special.

We thought we were going to get married at the court house, but things have changed. We are looking forward to an engagement party thrown by our lovely friends Amanda and Mary Quin. It is Spanish-themed bash with sangria and tapas served to our 30 closest friends and will take place on March 28.

The next few blogs will certainly be about our June 6, 2009 wedding, where 13 of our closest family members will join us at our home for wine and cheese, a short garden ceremony, and a champagne toast, followed by a dinner at the same restaurant were we became the future Mr. and Mrs. B!

I never thought this would happen, but I am really into the wedding planning now. The next posts are certainly to be about my new joy: planning a divine summer party for our nuptials!
