The Engagement Continues



We're still engaged! And we're very anxious for October to get here!

For those that don't know, the wedding will take place in Brenham, TX at the newly named Grateful Family Farmhouse. The farmhouse is a 100 year old house that in being renovated by Jennifer's awesome family. It will be a very special place for us to be married. We can't wait to see the finished house and share it with all of you. 

In the meantime we are trying to find a cute chef to cook at our wedding... There is an unsuspecting chef-neighbor that may be bombarded in the near future. Keep your fingers crossed that he is actually a chef and doesn't just parade around in a chef's coat for kicks. He also has a tiny shih tzu puppy that Keira tries to eat on a regular basis. But I digress... 

Here's a fun picture from the farm...

Planning...

The wedding planning has begun! Jennifer has spent hours pouring through bridal magazines and theknot.com. Allen has picked the beer for the big day and his groomsmen. 

The engagement party planning is underway. Jennifer's kind sister has agreed to host the party at her brand new house in Pearland. Invitations
 will be going out soon for an intimate party in late April so the bride and groom's families can meet. Jennifer is already obsessed with planning the menu. 

Donna Arriola will be our wedding photographer.  Check out her website at www.theportraitcompany.com. Donna took Jennifer's high school graduation photos and has been a long-time friend of the family. She is g
reat and we can't wait to work with her!

We have not registered yet but are planning to register at Macy's and Crate and Barrel. We will post here when the registries are up and running. 

Stay tuned...
