Wedding Planning
The Proposal

Well...Matt proposed very romantically on Sunday, May 17, 2009. We were in a gazebo at one of our local metroparks when he got down on one knee. For the whole story...check out our website!
Wedding Planning

We had been talking about getting married while on an Alaskan cruise. But after much research...it's going to be too hard for the family and friends we want with us...and just isn't going to work. We tried for 4th of July, but ran into some difficulty with the date. We looked into several local options, and have ultimately decided to go with the Toledo Zoo for both our ceremony and our reception! We are officially booked for July 3rd, 2010. Yay!

Decorating Ideas

The venue is african themed, but we want an Itlaian reception. How to combine the 2? We themed the wedding around travelling!

Food...the most important part!

Jan at David's Bridal was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone! However, the dress I decided on was a Maggie Sottero, and Atlas was the closest dealer.
