Frivolous fun!

I have been tagged by Carey for this fun meme!

Where did you meet your husband?

Marketing class - most interesting thing in the class! And the best part of my entire college experience!

Where was the first date?

We went to see Clear and Present Danger (my choice) and had a wonderful evening together!

Did you have a long or short courtship/engagement?

We dated for 4 years and about 4 months before we got engaged. And while we were married 4 months later, we only really had 7 weeks and 6 days to plan because all of a sudden we were pulling the date in to leave the country!

Where did you get engaged?

A quiet, sweet afternoon at my apartment (we were both having crazy work schedules so a quiet afternoon was a treat!), I was totally surprised! My ring was in a box shaped like a rose. (ring box was the flower, and there was a stem, kind of hard to explain but very beautiful and sweet)

Where did you get married?

My little church in Canada (my husband did not know his new pastor, and the one he knew and loved had just left to become a bishop so could not return which made deciding whose church to get married in very easy).

How did the reception go?

It was a blast! An afternoon reception at a country club. Everyone had a great time. And the staff loved us so they did lots of little extras for us to make it extra special, and the events coordinator loved us so much she told the chef about us and asked him to make an ice sculpture to compliment our wedding cake, and he agreed! It was stunning! (And the cake was delicious! and gorgeous!)

How was the honeymoon?

Wonderful! Our wedding night was spent at a beautiful historic hotel, then the next day we drove to our honeymoon destination for 3 nights in a cottage by the lake. Blissful calm after the chaos of planning a wedding so fast and before the chaos of moving 2000 miles away (and internationally) exactly 3 weeks to day after our wedding! While we did not get the exotic tropical honeymoon we were originally planning, it was great! And then we drove to our new home for part two of our honeymoon and that was wonderful too! We still joke that we are honeymooning because we did not get the three weeks we had wanted, so we invested the rest of our days at a high interest rate with compounding interest! (Yup, we were business majors).
