So, as you all can tell I decided to start a blog to document our wedding planning. I honestly feel really cheesy doing so, but everyone keeps asking me how the planning is going and this is an easy way to keep everyone posted. Also, since we are planning in such a small amount of time, I'm afraid I'm going to miss taking in the details of everything, and figure that this will be something to look back on later.
For my first post, I wanted to talk about the proposal, since everyone has been asking me about it. Friday (September 30th) was our three year anniversary. I had known that Nick was getting me something good, as he seemed really excited about it and mentioned that he needed Mark's (his best friend) help to track it down. From the moment he said that, I immediately began going over the list of all the things I had asked for as an anniversary present in my head. Mind you, it was a long list full of mostly silly things. After ruling out things like a new Coach bag and scrubs, I made up my mind that it was a puppy. The day I had asked for a puppy, I was feeling rather down and thought it would be nice to have a dog to snuggle up with. But, once the idea became a possible reality in my head all I could think about was chewed shoes and freezing cold trips outside at ungodly hours so the dog could pee. I bugged Mark, and his fiancee' (and my best friend) Michelle to tell me what it was, and they only fueled by belief that it was a puppy.
Our anniversary rolled around, and we went out to The Melting Pot for dinner. Its a cute, kind of fancy fondue restaurant that we've made it a habit of visiting for special occasions. We ordered our drinks and our meals, and when the waiter left our table I began asking Nick for hints as to what he had gotten me. He had been acting kind of strange all day, and acted even stranger when I began asking questions, either stalling the conversation or shuffling around in the booth. He told me he had a picture of it in his pocket, and began rifling around in his pockets under the table while he asked me "how many puppies did you want?" Taken back by his strange question, I gave him a weird look then answered. He continued rifling around under the table and asked me what else I had wanted, I named off all the silly things on my list. Finally, I said "diamonds?" and Nick asked me how many. You think by now I would have gotten it, but I thought he was just messing with me, and about to give me a photo of a dog. But, instead he asked me "how many diamonds" when I told him only one, he replied "how's seven" and flipped open his hand to reveal my beautiful ring. I'm pretty sure he asked me to marry him somewhere in there, but truthfully I was too busy nervous laughing loudly for about two solid minutes to know. He slipped the ring on my finger, and we enjoyed a great meal :)
Tuesday night I took my first outing with my bridal party. I've chosen my best friend Michelle to be my maid of honor, another very good friend Amanda to be a bridesmaid, and my cousin and good friend Nikita to be my other bridesmaid. We had planned on getting together to only LOOK at bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses, but I ended up leaving having chosen both dresses for myself and them. I'm so lucky to have such a laid back group of girls in my wedding, I was so afraid that dress shopping would be miserable, but we had a great time.
It is getting late, and I'm getting exhausted. So, until next time folks..
