a year away, oh my!

i think we have set a date!!


october 2, 2010. it is the day before our anniversary, and next year that will be our 6th year anniversary, and the start of a new. i am even more excited, and have a touch of anxiety thinking about it. i am most torn on wedding colors. i know i want a vintage fall theme, but what colors?! black, orange, gray?! it isn't that i love gray, but the dress i really love only seems to look good in gray. plus, with some bright flowers i think it would spruce it up a bit... it's from jcrew. i just really like the style of it, but i don't like the way it looks in any of the other colors. 

i am also into the incorporation of hay, and fun signs such as:

I love this, but it definitely needs mums. it's not quite colorful enough for me. but, the pumpkins! and the background is breathtaking. I think we decided on a church wedding. I am disappointed in the fact that I will have no breathtaking background, with pumpkins, mums, and hay. But, I have to make a sacrifice for PJ. Church means a lot to him and his family, and I wouldn't want to disrespect that. When I was little, I always imagined having a church wedding. Kingston has beautiful churches, hundreds of years old. The dutch church is really great, I will have to take some pictures if I ever get out of work before dark.

all of the above i found on theknot.com, and are pictures from real weddings. 

BIG NEWS!

i have so much to update about! sooo much, but i will stick to the most important of updates first.

i'm engaged!

super exciting, super fun, and again so exciting!

PJ asked me on my birthday, which he stated for weeks now was going to be the best birthday ever. i doubted this, but it was true! until next birthday when i get a dog. just kiiiidding, sort of. 

we know we want an october wedding, but we don't know 2010 or 2011?! 

pj and i are are homebodies, and he knows how good i am at guessing presents. so PJ popped the question while i was sitting at the kitchen table after i got home from work. and if he did anything out of the blue i would have definitely been suspicious. i hate surprises and feel the need to wrack my brain trying to figure out what he could've gotten me. 

i am so excited to start planning, and i already have a few details picked out. ya know, only a few. 

we know we want an outdoor wedding, in the fall.

and i'll save the rest for later!

here is a little sneak peak and the bridesmaids dresses i heart. 

oh, and now i am TWENTY THREE! yiiikes.
