my weekend!


on saturday we were by the ocean in maine and suddenly my love uttered those four little words: "will you marry me?" yes! (of course.)

being the genius that he is, simon planned the surprise perfectly and it truly was the best day of my life. both sets of parents were nearby and enveloped us in hugs. and then we celebrated with champagne.

we are so excited, and i'm already calling him my "fancy".

    best advice ive gotten - make the wedding personal. make it about you and your future hubby. make it about what you want.

    for us that means more fun and less formal. best of luck and have fun!!
