The Wedding Date

We both love the fall, and we knew this fall would be too soon to properly plan the extravigant event that we'd like. So we opted for next fall. We wanted the changing colors of the leaves as a backdrop. We figured up in the Owen Sound Area, the base of Georgian Bay, Ontario, the best weekend would be October 2, 2010.
So, that is our date for our special day.
This also gives us lots of time to plan, organize and have some fun with our bridal party!

Engaged!

Jason and I are engaged!

After planning and talking for the last few months, we really wanted to get engaged. I kept saying to him, you better hurry or I might beat you to it!
I don't think he really thought that I would, or that I was really thinking about asking him.

So, on July 10th, at approximately 2pm, when I was on my knee infront of the photography magazines in our local chapters (where we had first met), rings in hand, he was blown away.

The first words under his breath I believe were "oh, don't do this here", but then he smiled as he realized that I wasn't going to stop talking, I was shaking and tearing up.

I had two temporary rings, and I was so nervous. I was holding them out in the air proclaming my love for him, and then started to shake thinking to myself, what if he says no? ... what then? How do guys do this with out passing out?

I finished with tears in my eyes, and with out a pause, he replied "of course I will".
