A&E Engagement Pictures

I know these are way out of order, but I realized I never shared these. Ashley and Eric asked me to take some engagement pictures for them. Of course I said yes, but they needed to understand I wasn't a professional photographer so didn't want them to have high expectations.




The pictures turned out....okay. I actually learned a lot in the time I spent with them, so maybe I will be able to find another pair of willing models so I can continue to learn. It was a lot of fun walking around Central Park with them.

Engagement pictures...

We had our engagement pictures taken in Jersey City, NJ. Our photographer was Emily from http://www.1314studio.com/
  

Only Five Days!

I can't believe I'm getting married in only five days! I've been busy the past few months and the time has just flown by.

What have I been up to?

Family Visit: Dad, Mom and Kari came out in September for a little visit. We did the usual: saw shows, went out to eat a lot, and crammed all of us in my room. Good times!


Engagement Pictures: After a lot of back and forth with photographers, Jeff and I finally found one that was available. Unfortunately, we had to wait till the end of September, so our announcements went out very late. It's all good!


Wedding Announcements: I'm not sure when and why I thought it would be a good idea, but I decided to make our wedding announcements. Let's just say that took several weekends!


England Emails: I have been emailing and calling London several times a week for the past few months, but we have finally gotten it all figured out! I'm getting really excited about our little trip across the Atlantic.

Utah Bridal Shower: I went out to Utah for a bridal shower in October. My lovely future sister in-laws and mother in-law threw me a lovely bridal shower! Mom and Kari drove down to attend as well. It was a nice weekend and I got to catch up with a few of my BYU friends.


New York Bridal Shower: Ashley (roommate), Karen (roommate), and Kari thew me a tea party bridal shower in the city yesterday. One of my favorite places for brunch is a little place called Alice's Tea Cup. They made all my favorite items off the menu! It was a lot of fun catching up with some of my NY friends.


Kari's Visit: Kari is now in town to spend my last week with me as a single lady! I have a few errends I need to get done before Friday, but I hope we can have a lot of fun in between.

Work Work Work: Work has been tough for me as of late and I'm so looking forward to the time off.

August 13th, 2010 - A Night to Remember

So, I know this is very late, but I thought I would post about it anyways. In case some of you don't know I got engagement a couple of weeks ago.

And here is how it happened...

Jeff picked me up from the train after work and surprised me with a little trip to a day spa. We both got massages and then I got a mani/pedi. It was a lovely surprise after a long week. We then headed back to his place to change for dinner. After I walked into the house I made my way to the living room to slip off the little slippers they had given me at the day spa. I hadn't even removed the slippers when I noticed that the dining room table was covered in flowers, rose petals, and candles. By the time I had made it to the table for a closer inspection Jeff was right beside me and down on one knee and...he asked me to marry him!


We then headed over to Restaurant Nicholas for dinner. Jeff had arranged for a special menu for us for the evening which included lobster (one of my favorite dishes). He also designed a special drink for us to celebrate the occasion. It was truly an amazing evening and one I will remember forever.
