I love this dress and can't wait to wear it! Still in search of a veil and jewelry! Click below to view my dress. It is being kept a secret from the groom!

my friend, Chris Cendana, will be our DJ at our reception in Point Pleasant on June 27, 2009. He is truly a gifted musician and I am so excited that he will be sharing in our special day. Check out his music on youtube, you will be touched. chris will also be getting married next October, which I know he is very excited about.

decisions decisions

the dress is here. it is quite plain and simple. therefore, i am in search of the perfect jewelry. something big and bold that makes a statement. i found the dress at nordstrom. my friend leah picked out the same dress to wear at her reception next summer.....how ironic. we both fell in LOVE!

on our way

A week has passed. Thanks to all for your kind and encouraging words. We love ya'll! The fun has now begun and plans are slowly falling into place. We will be getting married in the Riviera Maya in Mexico and will be staying at the Aventura Spa Palace. We will return from Mexico on June 19th and will hold TWO...yes...count em'...two receptions. ONE IN WV AND THE OTHER WILL BE IN NC. Our WV reception will be on June 27 2009 at 7:00. Our NC reception will be held on July 11 2009 at First Baptist Church in Mount Holly. We can not wait to celebrate with our amazing family and friends.

OUR COLORS WILL BE: ROBIN EGG BLUE AND CHOCOLATE BROWN!

what matters most....

The engagement ring of today also has its own varied and interesting history, some of which is explored below. Engagement rings have been known by many different names, have symbolised a variety of different things and have not always been made of precious metals and stunning gems! Folklore has it that the fourth finger of the left hand has a vein leading directly to the heart, it is only natural that both engagement and wedding rings would be worn on this particular finger, which was once reputed to be a direct route to the heart.


To me, my ring represents commitment, love, honesty, and above all a representation of God's love. I believe that I am most thankful for the part God played in our meeting one another and what I know he will do as we begin our lives together. As I plan all the exciting events along the way, I pray I continually thank God. As I look at my ring, I wonder if heaven has such brightness. I am quite sure it does.

so...It's here
The Ring.
The Beginning.
