Drum Roll Please.....

Over the past few months, Rob and I have been struggling trying to find a location that we would both like to get married. There was an initial idea that had come to mind, but we had set it aside thinking, no, it will be closer to home. We bounced around some more ideas and came up with Northern VA, the Poconos, most major cities in Central New York, and even in Jamaica as a wild card. We just weren't finding "the place".

I think now it was because we were trying to make everyone else happy but ourselves and that's when, after most friends and family repeated to us, "It's YOUR wedding", we finally took a look at our initial location and seriously thought about it. Turns out, that's our place. It's where both of us have very happy memories together and where Rob got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. We are going to be married in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and we couldn't be more excited about it!


The actual event itself is a ways off yet (looking at April 2010), but it almost needs to be with everything we have going on. Rob is in school for another year and then we are going to be moving (better be!), and before you know it the holidays are upon us and then into the spring. But since Rob and I are crafty people, we want to do a lot of stuff ourselves and this will allow for that to happen as well. While a longer engagement isn't something we wanted initially, it's showing positive points for us now. :)
