We're Engaged!

Even though we had been together for over 4 years and I kept waiting for that ring, when it happened, I was floored. We were on our way to North Carolina for Christmas and stopped at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville N.C. We always past it on our many trips to N.C. and always said we would stop one day. We walked around the grounds for a bit with our two dogs and then headed into the house. Over two hours of walking though opulence, we headed outdoors. It was freezing. Carlos took some pictures with his fancy new camera I got him for his birthday. Then he stated talking about his "perfect day" that happened the week before. I had to go up to NY for my nephews Christening and Carlos was left all alone. It had snowed pretty bad all over the country and he was left on Sunday with snow, beer, wings and his favorite football team playing ( Giants game was snowed out, so the Panthers game came on). He said it was perfect except for one thing, I wasn't there.

At this point, I am like, he is talking really sweet and stuff. He got down on one knee, pulled out the red box and asked me to marry him. I said "Yes, are you kidding." Tool off my glove and he slipped the ring on my tiny, cold finger. I felt like David at the dentist (youtube video). It was so surreal and amazing. I cried and then we went to the winery and bought champagne. That was my perfect day.

In this blog you will follow me as I, a wedding planner, plan my own wedding. How I will stick to a budget. How do I handle certain situations. Call in favors and most of all keep everything on track. I have already started the process and it is not easy being on the other side. Stay tuned for more postings...
