drumroll please....

here it is: the announcement of the big day!
  john and i are gettin' hitched on july 12, 2008! 
(and for your viewing pleasure, a picture of us from last july!) 

jp and i knew that we wanted to get married in blacksburg- it was the place where we met, where our relationship blossomed and where we fell in love! it was an easy decision to agree upon a location. now, for long-distance wedding planning....

i am heading up to culpeper to meet john tonight at 6 & from there, we will ride together up to his dad's house in salem for the night. tomorrow we make the rest of the trip to blacksburg for a saturday filled with wedding planning! (note the blue? it's one of our primary wedding colors!) we are meeting with our bakery (carol lee!), caterer, florist and hopefully making final arrangements for the ceremony. hooray! 

AND blacksburg is in a "Severe Weather Warning" for the weekend- woohoo! wedding planning AND snow? what more could a girl ask for?! 

have a great weekend everyone! :o)

You'll have fun planning your wedding! I loved it. Just try to remember when you get stressed out - it is only a DAY, it is not the MARRIAGE. Enjoy Blacksburg in the snow!!

How much fun! I loved the planning. Where are you doing the ceremony and reception?! July is a great time to get married, the weather for our wedding was beautiful and we got married on the 15th! Keep us up to date!
