Fort Worth Bridal Show

Today I went to the bridal show with my mom, sister (plus baby too!), aunt, and roomie/future bride-Kate. The boutique I ordered my dress from asked me to walk in the fashion show. I got to wear the dress I ordered! I had a blast doing it, and even better- I didn't fall down! For obvious reasons I can't post the pictures of it, but in a year I can!
The show was very productive in planning. We got a great deal on the tuxes, and I'm officially going to have a photobooth! It is something I've always wanted to have at my wedding, and I'm so happy it's actually going to happen! I can't wait to see the scrapbook with everyone's pictures and messages for us!
I am pretty sure I found a great DJ, and the PERFECT invitations...we just have to see how much they cost!

Wedding Plans are coming right along!!

The day after Matt left for Korea, I went and signed the contract for the venue our wedding will be at. We're having the Ceremony and Reception at Piazza in the Village in Colleyville, TX. This is the outside of the Piazza. I'm so thrilled to have found a place this gorgeous! And in our budget! :)

I also found THE DRESS! I went with my mom and dad, sister and her husband (Amy and Jesse) and my best friend on Sunday and decided I couldn't find anything more perfect. The store owner also asked me to wear it at the Fort Worth Bridal Show on this coming Sunday, which I thought was pretty neat. Last night I was so excited and happy about getting it I couldn't even fall asleep...I felt like a little kid who was getting to go to Disneyworld the next day :)

We got Engaged!


Matt proposed to me in Monterey, Ca. We were walking along the beach just at sunset when he stopped to pray for us. After that my wonderful puzzle piece got down on one knee and pulled out the most gorgeous ring. I was completely in shock. He and basically all of our friends and family did a great job at making it the best surprise ever. It was so wonderful to stand there with my amazing fiance and watch the sunset on this beautiful place God created just for us. I cannot wait to be married to my best friend on July 11, 2010!
