The engagements pics went well Sunday, outside of my being sick the entire time. We met up with Pete, our photographer, downtown, and we took photos in front of the Orpheum, on Beale Street, and on the roof of the Peabody hotel at sunset. From what I could see of them in his view-finder, they looked pretty cool. He said we should have them in around 2 weeks, yay! Our wedding ...
OK, I really, honestly was not trying to go for a Beauty & the Beast theme - and I'm still not. I was trying to keep it out of the wedding as much as possible, because early on, Chase told me he didn't want to be thought of as a "beast" at the wedding, which I can understand LOL So really all we were going to do, originally, was find ...
So we had from Pete, our photographer - he asked if we could do the engagement pictures this weekend. The "D:" is just because I realised I'm not prepared for it, have no clue what I want to wear, etc, etc. But the timing is fine, actually better, really... I'm excited to see how they turn out. We're going downtown... he does some really cool stuff, I'm hoping they'll be ...
Today was supposed to have been a do-nothing, go-nowhere, stay-at-home and finish some stuff kind of day. We woke up this morning and Chase said, "Let's go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast." I said fine, so off we went. After that, we were just going to go to Sports Authority or Dick's (if Dick's was open yet) so Chase could look for one of those armbands that can hold Ipod, ...
Well our DJ double booked us, as I'm sure some of you from my regular friends list saw, LOL. He had no idea about the double booking - the agency did not contact him when they booked him to do the stupid prom same night as our wedding. He made good on it, though. He was not happy about the situation, either - he'll do the sound at the actual ...
I realise this isn't going to affect most people on my LJ list, but I thought I'd throw it out there! Chase & I are having a party at MidSouthCon next year! (http://midsouthcon.org) It's an engagement party, we'll be hanging out all Saturday night with food & drinks and stuff, so if we know you or semi-know you or don't know you at all but you know us (...
My engagement ring: I've got to take better pics, but there it is. It's not what I ever thought I'd want -- but I love it :D Chase did a good job picking it out LOL :D
More importantly than Harry Potter, at least in my book -- my engagement ring came back from being sized three days early! We ended up being late to Melissa & Josh's friday night because we just had to go get it. i'll try to take pics pretty soon. i love it so much, it was nice to be able to stare at it on my finger through all the hours ...
Normally this would have been a post in my wedding journal, but I just had to share it over here!! For those not on my friends list at , we are doing pretty well with our planning. We have our ceremony & reception site paid for (in the beautiful Iris Garden at the Memphis Botanic Gardens - reception just a short walk away in their Hardin Hall.) We have our photographer ...
we met with him yesterday, liked him and his style, great price, and we get ownership of the images (so we don't have to pay him everytime we want a print, we own the full size digital photos) Chase is dropping off the contract & deposit today :)
