Engagement Party

At the loft before heading to the Island

                                        

The beautiful cake Lissa had made for the party.

My mom's good friend's Lissa and Barbara threw Trey and me the most beautiful engagement party in Corpus. Everything was incredible. The party was at Lissa and Rolf's house on the Island and it was a beautiful evening on the water. Lissa and Barbara went all out, cooking an amazing buffet, decorating the house with Lissa's adorable vintage cake toppers, and ordering us the most beautiful cake. I have decided that I don't want to have a traditional wedding cake at our reception, so they got us one for our engagement party! The best part about the cake is that it was a delicious as it was pretty. For everyone that missed out, don't worry; the same baker (Gary Holman) is also creating a dessert bar for our reception, so there will be plenty of her yummy goodies for you all to try! Trey and I are so thankful to Lissa and Barbara for all their hard work. And also to everyone who came down to Corpus for the party. We know a lot of you had to travel and we really appreciate you making the effort to come celebrate with us. We can't wait for the wedding!

Sole Searching

One of the first things people ask me when I tell them I am getting married in a year is if I have found my dress yet. Well, lucky for me, my good friend (and bridesmaid!) Heather is a fabulous designer and she is making my wedding dress. Heather knows my style and it has been fun sending each other pictures of fabulous gowns for inspiration. I can't wait to see what she designs, and I know it is going to be perfect! The only downside to my custom-made gown is that I don't really have any reason to go shopping for one, so I have decided to devote all that shopping energy to the perfect wedding shoes! I was picking up mascara at Nordstrom's last night when I walked by these AMAZING glittery pink Jimmy Choo peep toes! Definitely a candidate!

Save the Date!

So as I am sure most you have noticed, I have not blogged in forever! Things have been kinda crazy since we got engaged! Thank you to all our friends and family for the all the well wishes and celebrations over the past month! It has been so fun sharing this with everyone, and we look forward to lots of good times with you all over the next year leading up to our big day! I was able to go to Corpus a few weeks ago and my mom and I made a lot of plans! We are so lucky that our long time family friends Wayne and Deneece Squires have offered to let Trey and I have our ceremony in their beautiful backyard. And, of course, the reception will follow at the good ol' Holiday Inn Emerald Beach :) So mark your calendars...June 11, 2011 is the date! We hope you can all be there to celebrate with us! I promise to do more wedding planning posts in the coming months. And as if I needed another reason why Trey is the best fiance ever, he brought me home these beautiful flowers last week just because :)

I'm Engaged!!

I think most of you have heard the exciting news by now, but I still thought it needed its own post! I am so thrilled to be marrying Trey! I was completely shocked when he surprised me after work on Tuesday and asked me to marry him. Trey designed the ring all on his own, so it was a complete surprise to me. I could not have designed a more perfect ring for myself! We really couldn't be happier! And I can't wait to plan our wedding!!
