Why a Blaaaaahhhggg?
Chris and I got engaged on April 2, 2004, in a typically us fashion. I was in the dining room, perusing the takeout menu from the local restaurant trying to find something without meat in it (lent and all). Chris was rifling through his Timbuktu bag.
“Here’s the film from the trip” he said, laying it next to my hand.
“Thanks” I said putting my hand on the film.
“Do you want to get married?”
“Sure” I replied, trying to decide between the tuna wrap and the tuna salad.
“No…Do…You…Want…To….Get … Married?”
I looked down at the film, and realized there was also a ring box next to it.

And voila, the journey was on. And since those of you who I've given a link to this blog are the ones who need to know details, I figured this way everyone could stay up to date.

So the next step is to try to decide the whens and wheres. I'm hoping to get married at St Cecilia's Church in St Louis. This one is kind of special because my Mom & Dad got married there, as did my Dad's Mom & Dad. I'm a legacy, woohoo! I feel so debutante! Anyway, St Cecilia's ties in nicely with my having Chris's Mom's ring for my engagement ring. Chris and I both like the tradition that these represent. For a brief, breathless moment, I thought I was going to be able to get married at St Cecilia's on Dec 18th, which would fit all of the important schedules well. So many good things about that, but alas, another bride beat me to it. So the plan is tonight, to get in touch with Charlyn at St Cecilia's, and establish another date. As soon as this happens, we'll be able to move forward on all of the rest of the plans.

Hopefully more news tomorrow AM!
