‘Goin’ to the chapel…’
For those who didn’t get the email; rumor; or panicked phone call - it is true:
I’m getting hitched! The love of my life will truly become my bride in April!
(a little backstory can be found here)
And it turns out, she’s a bit of a blogger herself; once she got onto the Knot and could tell our story… (Read our wedding blog here)
And now to dispel the rumors:
Cheryl had written an email to quell any questions people might have had at work - since we do work in the same office. As she put it: ‘No, that is not a Princess cut diamond engagement ring on my finger. Its an Asscher cut.” (call me biased, I still think its one of the cutest jokes I’ve heard!)
Being part of the progressive couple that we are - I’m not content to just get the ring, rent a tux and show up at the church on the right day and time - I’m helping in what ways I can (since I’m unfamiliar with the region, getting a reception hall is OUT). So, I’m looking into honeymoons and apartments we can both enjoy. Which means that I am investigating the better part of the Caribbean and any place with a hammock, a beach and drinks with paper umbrellas. I won’t mention the life of crime I must adopt in order to pay for said honeymoon. Suffice to say, I think I can get by on one kidney…
So, since the engagement, my time is spent on discussing the merits of which dining hall has the best decor? band or DJ? Can I get my NYC friends to come all the way out to the Midwest for a wedding? Can I sing a song at the reception? What the $#!^ is taffeta?
And reading a lot of ‘How to Make Marriage Work’ articles on the web…
