Hey ladies... was just wondering if I could hop in? I've been reading the entire post to try and catch up.
I got engaged last September to my best friend and the love of my life! The proposal was laid back and intimate - just like us
. Basically I was laying in bed, he got home from work with a smirk on his face and he knelt down beside me, asking me to marry him. And of course I said yes.
I have a date somewhat picked out - April 1st, 2011 = It's April Fool's Day, and we're both quite funny people who love a good laugh, so we thought it'd be perfect!
I have three ideas on venues so far (I'm just too dang excited to wait to plan lol) - my grandparent's house (OH isn't too keen on that as it would need some fixing up), a country club near my grandparent's house (really cute and nice, seats about 100 with indoor and outdoor areas, right on the lake - has a dock and everything - wouldn't it be romantic to go off on a boat after the wedding?! It's only about $300 to book it... amazing!), and the third idea was from OH, to have it at his grandparent's house, which supposedly has tons of acres and whatnot (I'd want to see it first). I'm really open to anything that's cheap/free... we definitely want it partially outdoors though. I was thinking maybe a local park... but we don't know if we'll be living in this area when the wedding comes around, as our contract for renting expires in November of this year, and we'd really like to move. So many decisions!
I have NO idea what else I should start planning, since it's so far away! All of your plans sound to be going really well. Congratulations to everyone!
