Wedding plans! What we know so far:

Date:  May 26, 2012
Time: 2pm
Place: St. Mary's Cathedral in St.Cloud, MN

Reception to follow, but we're not sure where.  We're thinking about having breakfast food because it's our favorite :)  Make your own waffle bar with lots of yummy toppings, make your own breakfast bowl bar, mimosas, etc!

Colors: Daisy yellow and sage green

Honeymoon: We'll most likely head up to the Duluth area and rent a little cabin on the shores of Lake Superior.  More details to follow!

Registry: Since we already have all the essentials for setting up a home, we're looking into creating a honeymoon registry - I just have to figure out how :)

Less than 6 months to go!

How We Met

Dan and I met on CatholicMatch.com.  He had just returned from his second deployment to Iraq, and I had recently left a discernment program with the Poor Clares.  I don't think either of us was expecting too much from the online dating thing - we each wanted to meet people who shared our beliefs and values, and Catholic Match was a way to see who was out there - but from our first conversation, we knew we had found something special.  After a month or so of emails, text massages and phone calls, we met for the first time, and we've been together ever since!

Follow the Forming of Our Family!

I thought of this name for a blog just a few days after Dan and I got engaged, and I just couldn't wait until after the wedding to use it!  So I thought I'd get started now and use the blog to keep you updated on our wedding plans - less than 200 days to go!
