Guys. I looked like a crazy person all weekend because of my non-stop happy tears, but I am beyond excited. Ray and I are engaged! I was totally surprised, down to the fact that I am wearing hiking boots and my shirt that says, “can’t ban these guns” with arrows pointing to my biceps in all pictures surrounding our engagement. I know, I know… most people would say “classy” upon first viewing. But really now…
The full story will be shared, but first, I wanted to make a few vows to you, my loyal readers. Because you guys rock, and because I love reading your blogs. (In the spirit of blogging community, I hope you continue to read mine, as well. 🙂 )
My vows to you, my favorite readers:
1) This will not become a crazy wedding-lady blog. I fully intend to continue talking about workouts, recipes, fashion, and random musings. And I intend for not all random musings to involve wedding planning. But…
2) I will share my experiences as Ray and I travel through this journey. Ray and I have no idea what we’re doing, so it should be hilarious and a whole lotta’ fun. I promise to share every experience I can, either to help you in planning a big event… or just because I guarantee the majority of them will be incredibly humorous.
3) I will continue to write. I’ve fallen in love with this blogging “thing” more than I thought I would. Yes, it’s time consuming. But, more importantly… it’s FUN! If you guys promise to keep reading, then I promise to keep writing.
4) I will let you know what cake flavors we select the minute they are selected. Get excited.
You guys rock my socks off!

June 22, 2015 at 2:40 pmWonderful news!! Congratulations lady xxx
June 22, 2015 at 2:10 pmThanks! Now to figure out how to plan such an event. Eek! 🙂
June 22, 2015 at 2:40 pmYou’ll be fine.. I look back and would do some things differently – that’s life, trends and the wisdom of time 🙂 Don’t get too hung up on it and just roll with it. It’s just one day.. it flies by and will be awesome whatever xx
July 3, 2015 at 2:36 pmLove it – and love that it sounds like your’s was such a fun time! Already can’t wait!! 🙂
July 5, 2015 at 7:51 pmDancing. We danced like crazy as well as our guests. A lot of that depends on the dj and we had a fabulous one who got people out there to stay. Weddings where everyone is awkwardly watching the kids dance saddens me lol. So recommend researching Djs if dancing is important to you.
June 22, 2015 at 3:22 pmAnd have fun with it. I did ours in 4 months. It’s seriously only as stressful as you make it. I never was stressed or working on it all hours, it was still pretty big and pretty great. Make it fun and do what you want! Congrats!
Nice! We have 11-12 months, so hopefully we’ll be pretty good there. (Most of Ray’s friends still play hockey, so we have to go with back half of June-anytime in July if he wants any friends there.) Did you have a wedding planner, or was there a book you guys used?
June 23, 2015 at 2:23 pmNeither lol I was pretty nonchalant bout things and seemed to work in my favor because it all came together! 🙂
June 23, 2015 at 6:03 pmPhew – great to hear!!
June 24, 2015 at 11:06 amyayyy!!!!!! SO exciting!!! So happy for you girl! I can’t wait to follow along with the planning 🙂
June 22, 2015 at 4:57 pmThanks, lady! Me, too – it should be an experience, ha! Let me know if you have any tips!
June 23, 2015 at 2:24 pmCongrats!!!! 🙂 such an exciting time for you!
June 22, 2015 at 6:31 pmThanks! We’re both really excited. 🙂
June 23, 2015 at 2:24 pmSQUEEEEE!!!!!!!! 🙂 Oh my goodness, congratulations!!!! I can’t wait to see what your journey has in store!
June 22, 2015 at 8:49 pmThanks! Like I said, I had NO idea it was coming, so I’m still kind of in shock. It should be an experience, to say the very least. 🙂
June 23, 2015 at 2:25 pmI was just perusing your blog and saw this! Congrats, that’s so exciting!!! I got engaged this past December 🙂 I’m right in the middle of wedding planning! Have you started planning yet?
June 29, 2015 at 6:53 pmNice! We just narrowed it down to a specific month and a half and the state. Other than that, I guess we’ll see, haha! Got any tips??
