First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage...

"Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that’s a real treat" -- Joanne Woodward with husband Paul Newman

Venue Shopping

Danny and I went venue shopping yesterday... after many weeks of researching we gathered up all our papers and addresses and drove around looking at each of the venues. We looked at Balboa Bay Club, Newport Dunes and Oasis. My Mom and I looked at the Costa Mesa Country Club, Mesa Verde Country Club and Tulip Rose. All in all I would have to say that my favorites are the Mesa Verde Country Club and Oasis.

Here are pictures of Oasis!

Very cool room...I could see this decked-out with chandeliers, candles and flowers!

They have a professional kitchen that your caterer can use!

 I can see this courtyard all jazzed up for a cocktail hour!

 

Yay for fire pits!

What do you guys think? Where did you have your wedding reception or if you aren't married, where would your dream reception be? As of now, we are still keeping our options open, but I would love to hear what you guys have to say! What are key elements that you would like to have..dancing, food, small guest list/ big guest list, decorations etc.?

Happy Anniversary Danny!

To my Danny,

Happy 9 year Anniversary! I am so thankful to have such a wonderful best friend and love -- I couldn’t imagine my life without you. I am so excited for this year of wedding planning and for all the years to come that I can call you my husband! Yaaaaaaaaahoooooo! I have enjoyed every second we've spent together; every day of school, every Sunday church, every road trip, vacation, couch-potato-time, or cooking in the kitchen, every laugh and even every cry. I have loved it all. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for your steadfast love. You are truly an AMAZING man. 

We are going to have a lifetime full of adventures and happiness! I can't wait to see what God has in store for us next.

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." 1Corinthians 13:7-8

You are my heart Danny.

How time flies...
