New Wedding Date
Friday 14 December 2007
We are nearly for sure (like 98%) that our wedding date is changing from 22 Aug 08 to the 08 Aug 08. That is two weeks earlier, which doesn’t mean much to me right now because its still 8 months away, but I’m sure I’ll be happy when August comes around because now its sooner in August. 08/08/08 <–no matter what you put first (month, year, day) it will be the same date. How cool.
ComoWeddings Wrote Back
Monday 26 November 2007
Como Weddings wrote back with all their gardens at the available times for the week that we are looking at and I think we are leaning towards 22 August. Elav’s favorite number is 22, so that will be a good date. 8/22/8 will be the date (if it’s the American way of writing dates) or 22/8/8. I like it.
Wedding Site and Date
Monday 26 November 2007
Just waiting for Como Park to email me back with available dates and times for their parks. Between 17 and 30 of August would be really nice for Elav and I’m not sure what my schedule will be.
I figure if I can pick our wedding site and time, our reception site and time and the colors of our wedding that everything else can wait for a few months.
Engaged
Saturday 24 November 2007
On Tuesday 20 November 2007 Elav and I engaged ourselves to each other. I proposed to Elav through a print I made for him (I’ll get his permission to upload a photo).
I told my parents last week that I was proposing to Elav at Thanksgiving. I drove down on Monday and then Tuesday my dad called me to ask if I had anything to tell him. I did. 
We are at his and his parents’ house in Rockford, IL and we told everyone (his immediate family) all last night.
Now I have been looking at wedding planners online and I bought a wedding book today. We were considering getting married on July 12 (exactly 3 years after we “officially” hooked up) but Elav doesn’t get finished with school in Rockford until the end of July and he would also like to stay at his current job until he hits 2 years (August 16) so he gets max benefits. SO, I have been thinking maybe we could get married Saturday 23 August 2008.
Also, we are thinking about having our wedding at Como Park.
