Big News

I’ve been biting my tongue for the last two weeks, dying to tell anyone who will listen.  I’ve been on a gag order for all technology related mediums so that we can tell everyone in person before they hear it through the grapevine.  However, now I can tell all of you that my wonderful boyfriend Rich and I are engaged! 

I’m so excited to marry this man, I can’t even begin to tell you.  It’s as though a button was instantly pushed inside my head and I began to plan our wedding.  Okay, I’d be lying if I told you that I hadn’t sort of been planning this for a while.  I’ve always known he was “the one”, so I’ve saved web addresses and made mental notes over the years whenever anything wedding related caught my eye.  I figured it would be beneficial to have a starting point when we actually began to plan our own wedding.  Lucky for me, there are a million great blogs and sites out there for the novice planner.  So, planning is under way.

Obviously, I’ve been super excited to find a dress.  My friend Lauren is also getting married in 2010, so she’s become my wedding dress shopping buddy.  We’ve been to a few stores already and have another couple of appointments, but I think I’ve already found my dress.  It was the stereotypical experience when I saw it and I just knew it was mine.  Anyway, I’m not going to show you my dress until my wedding day later this year, but I will show you one of my runners-up that I found at Temperley in Soho.  FYI, Temperley has the most gorgeous dresses.  My favorite one was a mere $20K.  LOL!  Me and my fabulous taste.  Needless to say, I didn’t even try that one on for fear of becoming obsessed.  The one I did try on was in my price range and still stunningly gorgeous.  A perfect dress for a summer wedding.

Pretty right?

Lauren and I are headed to The Bridal Garden this evening to check out their selection for her.  (Although, I’m not opposed to trying on some more gowns myself.    )  The Bridal Garden’s concept is really cool.  It’s a non-profit bridal salon where all of the gowns have been donated by top designers, stores, and individuals.  How cool is that?
