The Venue

Here are some pictures of the venue. There are more on the website of it actually set up for events. I looked at about a million places in and around Dallas. I loved this one, it had the "urban-chic" feeling I wanted, but more refined. It's on the White Rock Lake, we'll have the ceremony outside. The inside is set up to be an art gallery as well.

The Proposal

Here are the pictures from when Matt proposed. My sister, Amanda and I were coming home from Albuquerque for Christmas with our grandparents. We tried unsuccessfully to get on an earlier flight. So we waited at ABQ. I texted Matt the plan, he was supposed to pick us up from Love Field. During the trip we did a lot of traveling, trains, cars, etc. I do not travel well and discovered 1/2 tablet of Dramamine was the prefect amount to allow me to stay awake and not get motion sick, although it did make me kind of sleepy and out of it. So we fly home, no problem. We get to Love Field. I text Matt to let him know we have landed, no response, strange... Start walking to baggage claim, come down the escalator. As we come down I can see Matt waiting across the walkway from the ground up. (I know its him cause I bought him those shoes). Then I can see his jeans, his belt and that his shirt is tucked in. At that point I knew something was up. We get off the escalator and walk towards him. He's holding a dozen white roses and a homemade sign that says "Megan, how about forever?" I asked Amanda if she knew about this, she didn't. I'm surprised and in shock, and pretty groggy from the Dramamine. A crowded has gathered, waiting for me, to see him propose. He gets down on one knee and says something to the effect of "I love you, will you spend the rest of your life with me", and I remember saying "of course" and grabbing the ring out of the box and putting it on my finger. It fits perfectly. People start clapping and congratulate us as head over to get our bags. Adam (Matt's best man) was there taking the pictures.

The Blog

Hello! I'm starting a new blog for the wedding. If you don't already know you can check me out at mileaminutemegan.blogspot.com

I decided to opt for a blog instead of a site on The Knot, which I already have and hate. The blog allows a little more creative freedom and I think its easier for the computer challenged to navigate. Hope you like it : )

Hopefully Matthew will post occasionally or it really wont be different then my blog.
