The Proposal

On 12/12/09 we were in Crystal Lake on Main Beach. The plan was to hang out then go Christmas shopping. (Meagan always needs a plan!) Blake came up with a good idea of setting the camera on a timer to get a cute picture of us: on the lake, sun setting, etc. After a few trials, he pressed the picture button, ran over...and proposed. Hence-the picture. It was perfect and even more perfect that we have a picture to never forget it!

Happy Birthday Blake!


Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to Blake! Blake- I'm so lucky to have you in my life. Even though I can barely walk- I had a blast today celebrating your special day :) Thanks for being an amazing person and friend. I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you. Love you! *Meagan*

Wedding Planning-GO!

As many of you know-I had to have last-minute back surgery. Blake and I decided to focus on house searching and put the wedding on hold. Well-we put in an offer on a townhouse in McHenry. It is a short sale-so we haven't heard anything yet! And surgery was last Thursday and VERY successful- I thank God everyday. So it's time to start.

We are aiming for either June 10th or 17th in 2011. Both Friday evenings...we save a little money this way :) We have a rough draft of a guest list with a smaller wedding of 175. We found a hotel in Mundelein that we both adored-but we aren't going to be suckers and not look elsewhere. I'm hoping to get my drivers to take me to a few places on the weekends. A few ideas include the following: The Concord, Chevy Chase, The Arboretum in Buffalo Grove, etc. Please send any suggestions our way!

We also have a DJ in mind already! It's a really close friend of the family. We are going to go hear him play soon to confirm the deal!

We have one idea for a photographer-but we are open to anyone else! Please share your idea!

Thanks for following our journey-we are very excited to share this experience with all!

xoxo

P.S. Don't forget to share your advice on our last post!
