Engagement and Weddings!!!!!!

Well, Brion finally asked me to marry him! It's been a bumpy road for us but I think it was just some speed bumps, lol. I know some of you have been asking me how he asked so I'll let you know:
On Sunday Brion and my dad went to play a round of golf...I stayed home because I didn't feel like going. Brion asked my dad's permission to marry me and he got my dad's approval! So, when dad got home he pulled me aside and asked when i was getting maried. I told him I wasn't sure because Brion would have to ask him then me...then dad said, "oh...well he asked me, it's ok, just act suprised!" Lol. It was funny. So on Sunday Brion picked me up and he took me to Bearnos then we were going to find something to do until we noticed the horrible wind storm. We then went to his house to take cover and just hang out. We have been going through a premarital study so we did our chapter in the book, then Brion took my book over to the desk came back to the couch where I was snuggled up with pillows and blankets and got on one knee and asked me to marry him! I then took about 2 minutes to "think" about it...then responded with a yes!

So we picked a date this week and a place. We plan to hold our ceremony and reception outside at Community Park on Saturday, June 20, 2009. The time is still unofficial. I even went today to book the shelter house because there was only 2 dates in June open! We did some shopping around and price comparrision and we got a GREAT deal!

Ultimately I'm not looking forward to all the planning stuff...it seems fun now, but I don't think it'll work out to well for me. I want a super simple, classic outdoor wedding so it shouldn't be too bad. I don't anticipate doing any more planning until after Christmas so yeah...lol.

Oh...I do need to find a photographer. I know they book up fast in June. I don't want to spend a lot though. Any suggestions? I have a few ideas but I'm open to ideas!

Ok! Lol...we've talked to 4 professional people and prices range from $500 to $4000!!!!! i think that's absurd. I'm still waiting to hear back on one person that Jessie recommended so we'll see, but I think you would do a good job - oh and we would pay you too!
