Engagement Pics!

Here are some of our engagement pics.  We had such a fun day :)

Bridal Party Spotlight {Diana Oleas}

Diana is from Equador.  She was an exchange student at my parents' house in Chardon in '05-'06.  As always, we went on many family trips to PA, and Texas, and had many fun times.  Joey and Diana came down to see me during Sibs Weekend at OU and Diana and I got tattoos (actually I got mine a couple days later, but the thought was there)  She now comes back to visit every year and we want her to move here!  She is currently going to school to be a doctor. We miss her and can't wait for her to be in our wedding!  :)

Flowers!

This weekend I met with the florist.  On my way up I picked up some cupcakes from Main Street Cupcakes (loved the Sweet Potato Fluff one!)   We got a lot of things figured out and I am excited to see all the things we talked about come to life.  I just love fall, orange flowers!  Big ivory spider mums too! :)  She is going to make a mock up of my bouquet with fake flowers so I can see what it will look like.  Maybe I can bring it to a dress fitting and see what the whole look will be!  :)
Dave and I also met with the Pastor on Sunday morning.  He was my childhood pastor and I just love him.  I am so excited for him to be a part of our special day.  Dave seemed to really like him (but Dave likes everyone!)  For so long it seemed like there was so much to get done and it was very daunting, but lately things have been falling into place!  I feel like we are well on our way to having everything look perfect. 
The engagement pics are in :) :)  I will post them as soon as we send the Save-the-Dates so people are still surprised by those when they get them :)  We love many of them, it's a hard decision to just pick one to announce our love!!

Bridal Party Spotlight {Abigael Jaymes}

Joey, Abbey, Dave and Me in Canada

Ok, So her name is really Abbey Snyder and she is my brother's girlfriend.  She goes to Malone University in Canton OH and is from Geneva, OH.  She wants to be on TV and she is good at it!  We just love her.  They have a pretty cute story about how they met.  Abbey and a friend went down to the OSU vs. Iowa game.  After an exciting win this picture was taken with the NROTC guys:

The Pic

As you can see, Joey's name is covered by Abbey's shoulder.  She facebooked the guy on the left and asked who the guy on the other side was.  My brother told the guy to definitely give her his name because she is hot!  They began flirting on facebook and eventually met up at home.  They have been together ever since.  Aren't they cute??  

Bridal Party Spotlight {Alec Montforton}

At our cousin's wedding

Alec is my cousin and Maid of Honor.  She is going to Mercyhurst in Erie PA for Event Planning and will be graduating in May.  So, she is my wedding planner too :)  Alec is from the west side of Cleveland so I get to see her often.  I'm excited to do wedding stuff together like shopping and crafts and parties! I can't wait to see where she gets a job after graduation and I hope it's close to Akron!
