Wedding Ideas!

I am hoping to have the wedding at Pickering Barn in Issaquah in April 2011, our friends Shaun and Sara had their wedding their last year and I loved it. Sara also told me that she loved having her wedding there and they were great to work with, which is a total plus. The barn is a great location because we can have the ceremony and also the reception there. I also like it because there are so many great places that you can take pictures outside. My mom and I plan on going down to visit it in two weeks so I can have another look and hopefully book a date! :)

My colors are going to be Pink ( of course) and green. I love this color combo it looks so great together and gives a girly color and a boy color so the boys don't have to wear pink. :) I love this look of all pink bridesmaid dresses with green bouquets!

Telling my family!

Brad had already talked to my Mom, Dad, and Brother and got permission from them which was great it was something that I thought was important for him to do, even though I knew they would all say they had their blessing.

I told the rest of my family (Grandma, Aunts, and Cousins) this weekend at our family reunion and they couldn't be happier. Everyone loves Brad so much and He can not wait to officially be apart of my family. I have to say no one was really super shocked they knew it was eventually going to happen. I was so happy that it was the day before we went to see my family so I could tell everyone in person.

WERE ENGAGED!

Brad and I are engaged and I couldn't be happier. We went to dinner last Thursday night at Amy's on the bay in Port Orchard. This was also the place that we went to dinner to celebrate our one year in January and they had written "Happy One Year Anniversary" on our desert plate. We had been talking about getting engaged for quite some time and when he told me he wanted to go to dinner that night I had a feeling something was going to happen, but I was not quite sure. We had wine and appetizers and a yummy dinner and Brad insisted that we get dessert which I was trying to pass on. When they brought out the dessert it was on a big plate and in chocolate sauce it read "Will you marry me Kari?" I was so surprised I didn't even realize that the ring was on the plate. Brad was a little to nervous to get on his knee but he told me how much he loved me and asked me to marry him. I got a little teary eyed and of course said yes! This is one the the happiest days of my life! I love Bradley so much and I can not wait to be his wife.
