Coming along and Honeymoon plans

Invitations are in the mail!!! Wow I am really excited. I hadn't realized all the many things Bananaquins has accomplished with the wedding preparations. I knew most, but now I know the flowers, decorations, and catering is taken care of too. Thanks to all of her family for the preparations. We would really be worrying and stressing out without your help. I don't know if my dear sweet bride-to-be can put the invitation on this blog or not, but your invitations will be there soon enough. Everything is looking good for the 10th of October. Some of you may be wondering about the special time afterward. I think Banana has already told many of you, but for those who have not heard, we are goi9ng on a 7 night cruise. We will leave on Sunday October 11 @ 5:pm. The cruise will leave from Long Beach, CA and go to Puerto Vallerta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. We will return to Long Beach at 9:AM Sunday the 18th. This is a way awsome cruise because my parents spent their honeymoon in Mazatlan and I purchased the ring in Cabo San Lucas.

Sadness and Joy, Sorrow and Glee

This is a very difficult decision for us to make. We appreciate-- well I guess I'm not supposed to speak for my beautiful fiancee but I think she feels the same-- all the love and support we are getting for our happy day. October is right around the corner. Both of us are disappointed that our marriage will not initiate in the temple, but are thrilled to become a family. There is still time to vote for (or change your vote) for which temple we should go to. This is a very real goal and we want your input.

This has been a very VERY busy time. Banana has been flying threw the air getting all sorts of things accomplished. So far our invitations are in the print shop (She did a fantastic job in designing them, You rock Girl), Rings have been chosen and picked up (mine is still on order but I have a loaner just in case) Ribbon was bought, rooms were reserved, person to marry us is all set, DJ is booked, Photographer is still needed if you think of anyone let us know :) dress and cake has been ordered too. The other night I actually fell asleep before She did!!! Can you believe it? They were out until 10 doing all the shopping. I am doing my stuff too so don't think I'm not.

Life is great and wonderful. There is sadness mixed in with the joy, but the latter is definitely more prominent. Thanks again for all the support and love. We will keep everybody posted as even more things get finished.

October 10, 2009

That's the date! So don't forget. Kinda came out of nowhere, so, we're hauling bootay to try and get everything ready.
So there isn't any surprise later I'll come out with it now. Because of how soon we'll be getting married and the process to go to the Temple, this will not be a Temple wedding. We're hoping to make that the event on our first year anniversary.

Now that's out of the way, I have to know... Is there ANYONE in the family who likes my fiance? Everyone's scaring the crud out of me. I wish I had some words of encouragement from someone!
