Engagement Announcement

Our engagement announcement was in Teagan's hometown newspaper, the Oak Ridger, this weekend. Here's a link to the online story...

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!

Pre-marital Counseling

We had our final premarital counseling session on Monday. Here we are with Randy, our officiant/youth minister/really great guy.

We spent time during this last session planning the ceremony. It's going to be great! We can't wait to share it with all of you!!

Little Details

Here's a picture of Teagan modeling the amazing shirt that her mom got for us. That's right, Brian has one too!

Lately our wedding planning has been that of taking care of details. We got the artificial snow for throwing in last night. We are shopping for attendant gifts. Brian is taking care of the engagement announcement in the paper.

The biggest accomplishment of late...and you should already know about this...is that we mailed our invitations last week! We are SO happy with the way they turned out...thank you Marta for your amazing design skills.

Our First Shower

We had our first bridal shower this morning. What a blast! It was given by Kim Llanusa, Pam Bakker, and Wendy Patterson. The food was amazing, it was fun...thank you guys so much! Thank you for proving Brian's wrong when he said "I will never, ever go to a bridal shower." :)

Here are some pictures from the shower:

Here's Brian showing off his beer mugs that he will actually use to drink milk. That's right, he's a wild man!

Food Storage!!

This is my "are you sure you want ME to cut the cake?" face. Brian is checking me out.

Scariest Bride and Groom ever!

Engagement Pictures

We took engagement pictures about two weeks ago. They have been posted online on the photographer's website, but we got the disc yesterday, so I thougt I'd post a few for those who read this blog to see. I must say, we were both having a great hair day :)

Great personality shot :)

LOVE this one!

This one won't due for an announcement because we're too far away, but we love the reflection in the water.




I love this one because it looks like Brian might hurt the photographer if he doesn't stop soon.

There are 145 pictures, so I won't be posting all of them on here. Anyway, we are soooooo happy with our photographer, as you can see. We can't wait to see how our wedding pictures will turn out!

Another Busy Day

At this point, I should probably just go to bed...I'm exhausted, but here I am...at the computer.

Here are some of the wedding planning highlights we hit today. Went to the reception site to give them the contract and plan how we want the tables and dance floor set up (that's right kids, put on your dancin' shoes!). Stopped by mom's house...she gave us shirts with cartoon renderings of ourselves on them. They say "We're tying the knot!" I'll have to post a picture later...I haven't taken one yet.

We ran by the church so I could take pictures (for the florist) and pay the deposit.


After that, we met with the caterer. Brian, being the good man that he is, took charge there and basically made out our menu. Then we made for the mall and picked up Brian's wedding band. I'm posting a picture of Brian giving what he calls "wedding finger."



Following a brief break to catch our breath, we met with the videographer.

Both of us realized that the wedding-planning advice other couples have given us is valid: we have to set aside a day where there is no planning allowed. That will be Wednesday for us...and we're excited about doing nothing!

Brian's comments :)

Brian added some comments to another post, but I wanted to make sure everyone got to read them. Eventually, I'll give him the password so that he can make posts whenever he likes :) p.s. this picture of him is from April.


Yes I did it!! But I sure did not think of it all. I enlisted the help of Teagan's 2 best friends.... Jennifer Loveday and Christi Noe. These fabulous and intelligent ladies helped me plan "Operation Engage" with precision, but most importantly with love and tenderness. I give a huge THANK YOU to these, my two compatriots, I will plan an operation with you any time.
