A christmas to remember

I recieved 1 rose for every month until Brandon and I are married.. so sweet.



It was a great christmas, here is a photo of our little christmas tree.



And a photo of Oliver posing like a photo.


And a family picture with Brandon's family-


I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Fun Bridesmaid dresses.

Call me crazy but I have been more obsessed lately with BM dresses, than finding my own dream dress.

A lot of the inspiration for BM dresses has come from my friends who have recently bought their own dresses for holiday parties which in turn would have been perfect for my bridesmaids to wear in my wedding!

Im sure the girls would love this silver Nicole Miller.

Or the blue one..

This cute silver and black ABS by Allen Schwartz

This teal number is from Macy's, Im not sure who designed it..love the color though.

And this limited edition Target dress I bought it the day after I saw it on Alysha-39.99!
I wish they could all grab this perfect holiday dress for next year.It is everything I love, pocketed! belted! sparkley! strapless! cheap! Im really just hoping that Target makes dresses for 2009 as cute as they did this year!!

Jewel Toned Ideas...

I have decided to do Jewel tones as my wedding colors. I'm picturing very bright teals, purples, oranges, pink etc. I haven't been able to find much inspiration with a broad multicolor theme but today I was blessed with this eye candy.

These photos were sent to me from Tifany at Gourmet Invitations, out of the Detroit area. She is doing our wedding invitations and possibly a seating chart.
She did my friend Mandy and Nathan's wedding. http://gourmetinvitations.blogspot.com/2008/04/more-crazy-damask.html

We still have a lot of time, and a ton of decisions to make. I'm getting excited that I can soon say our wedding is a YEAR away.




Incorporating feathers into my centerpieces.



I love the ribbon around the bouquet- so bold!



Another funky feather centerpiece! I also love the lighting..



Another view of this couple's table. I am fairly certain that we will have round tables, but I love the little centerpieces and the different colored items at each table.

The sweetest description...

I just read this on Brandon's myspace profile. It brought tears to my eyes, hearing his version of our life.. I'll quote it for you.

"It is hard to believe but it has almost been 1 year since we bought our house. It is also tough to believe that it has almost been 2 years since I said "You better not come home with a puppy...I won't be mad if you do though.." On Sweetest Day 2008, Les and I took a train to Chicago to spend the day, we walked down Navy Pier then grabbed some lunch at Geno's East. I had never really had Chicago style pizza, so I was pretty excited to try it. Im not sure if it was because I was really nervous or if maybe I was really trying to impress her with my eating skills, but at lunch that day I demonstrated a Top 5 performance in the "Most Pizza Ever Eaten by a Human" category. Pretty good stuff I'd say. After lunch we walked around a bit more, I had brought the camera so I was taking pictures, Les was doing some shopping. In the past few months talks of marriage had started to freely work their way into the conversations on both ends, but nothing too serious. Until that day. Resting on a bench at the base of the Hancock Building, with little girls clutching their American Girl dolls and toursits from all over racing by, we had a pretty serious talk about marriage. Neither of us really remember what was said, but there were no "down on one knee" tricks and no scoreboard antics. What we do know, is that somewhere during that conversation I did ask her to marry me and we came out of that talk ready to marry one another. It was really perfect for us and At that point in time nothing else mattered but her and I. Oh and the ring. Let me know if you would like to hear more of this story. "

I think this is the best description of our life the past 3 years.. Really neat things have happened and I cant wait for many more!
Love you BT!
