T-minus seven days to...
Wedding Day!
Pickle and I will be heading off to beautiful Hawai'i in just two days, and in one week, we'll officially be teammates for life! We're so psyched for the whole trip - not only for our once-in-a-lifetime start to our new adventure, but to see our families and make some amazing memories together too! We'll be spending 9 days on Oahu before visiting Kauai and the Big Island for some honeymoon time.
I'm sure there will be plenty of memories to share when we return, but for now, I thought I'd share our engagement announcement. It was nearly a year and 4 months ago that Pickle hijacked my Valentine's Day plans (he'd made all of the plans for us on Valentine's Day, so I arranged for a sequel the following weekend, but our Mikadog tore her ACL and had to go through surgery, so it was a month later when we finally made it out.) I planned the whole evening as a surprise - fine dining, tickets to see this amazing exhibition of light installations by Bruce Munro at the Franklin Park Conservatory, and a hotel suite...all (I thought) Pickle knew was that we were going to Columbus for the evening (except that my sister had been feeding him every little detail behind my back so he could plot his proposal!) It was a beautiful night, and I could not have been more surprised when he got down on his knee at the end of a path through the field of light to ask me to marry him. We were both so excited neither of us really remembers what was said (Pickle said he'd had a lot of things ready to tell me, but it basically came out as "Iloveyousomuchwillyoumarryme?" to which I responded "ohmygoshohmygoshYES!ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshAgggghhhhhh!") We're a little better prepared for the wedding ceremony and we'll have some people there to document it in case we black out from happiness :)
