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!

Reception Locations = DRAG!

Touring the reception halls has been really hard. I haven't found the perfect place yet! They are really expensive with nothing to offer. I recently saw the Arboretum in Buffalo Grove and it was not what we were looking for. We want a fun, simple reception hall and an outside ceremony.

A few places that are on our list:
Poplar Creek in Hoffman Estates

The Concorde in Kildeer
http://www.concordebanquets.com/

And we are going to Astoria Banquets on Saturday
http://www.astoriabanquets.com/

I have requested information for a few more locations then we will make the decision and pick a date!

I attended a Bridal Expo with my mom and sister this past weekend. It was very overwhelming! We won $100 off a photography package and Aileen and I won $300 off laser hair removal and skin tightening (hmmmm....I didn't think this was an issue for us!) We are still waiting to win something we will use :)

We have changed a few options on our blog-you will have to register to leave comments. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do so-we would love feedback, encouragement, etc. We just want to know who is leaving us the message :)

House news: Seller approved the offer the next day-we are awaiting on the bank. It is looking good! Our attorney has been in constant contact with everyone and we signed the mortgage papers so that they are ready for take off!
