Wedding Dress
Hello everyone,
So I told you a few days ago that we found a wedding dress at the wedding expo and I was going to see it again at Wedding Works with my mother. My mom and I went to see the dress, and it was as beautiful as I remembered. I felt so happy in the dress and so we purchased the dress. Although my mother had to see me in another dress that was an off white dress with a red bodice/ flowers/ beading, it was pretty but not for me! It was so exciting to purchase my wedding dress! To bad I have to wait 2 years to wear it.

1st wedding expo
Alex and I just went to our first wedding expo yesterday at Binghamton. It was a blast! There were all kinds of vendors there, from Avon, DJ's, Hair/Makeup/Spa, Wedding Dresses, Jewelry, Caters, Honeymoon, etc. We found a Irish pub catering business "McGirk's Irish Pub" their chicken dishes were fabulous but Alex and I were not sold on the their seafood.
Next we went into the main hall where most of the vendors were, and I got a glass of wine to try it was great (although it was a cash bar but it was only 5 dollars for a glass of wine which I didn't think was to bad) There were models that were showing off the dresses of the Bridal Boutiques and they were very pretty although there were none I really liked in the first two we saw.
I think one of the highlights was tasting wedding cakes, they had all kinds of flavors, pink lemonade, coffee, expresso, chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, chocolate raspberry( which was Alex and my favorite flavor) and more. We also found some interesting ways to arrange our flowers for the tables, like for example flowers floating in water filled glass jars which were lighted by candles, they were absolutely beautiful.
But I think the best part of the entire expo was when Alex and I went downstairs to see some gowns that were on sale from $99-400 from Wedding Works in Endicott, NY. We stumbled across a very pretty gown, it was a ball gown with beading on the bodice and skirt with a blue sash like pieces under the breasts and the blue continued around to the back of the dress, it was beautiful.
So as you would have it I had to try it on, and it was stunning (Alex did leave the room for this). I did not want to take it off, and so I put a hold payment on the dress, so my mother could see it before I purchased the dress. So hopefully by tomorrow I might be the proud owner of my future wedding dress!!!! I know I haven't tried on that many yet but if you know it's the dress, don't mess with fate and "SAY YES TO THE DRESS"!!! I love that show and had to say it!!!

The proposal
The proposal took place on January 29th, 2012 near her house. We went to a local reserve, Partridge Run Game Management Area, located in Berne, Ny. There is a trail that leads down through the woods and comes out on a small pond. We had originally planned on taking two of her families dogs (3 Jack Russel crosses and 1 Black lab mix) but when the other two saw the leashes, we ended up taking all four of the dogs. What I had told her was that I thought it would be a good spot to tire out all 4 of them, but in reality we were going so that I could propose.
The trail was a little slick in spots due to the snow that had not melted yet and some spots that were icy. So we were slipping down the trail but it was fun and pretty walk. When we got to the bottom of the trail, we took a short break. It was then, near the pond, that I got on one knee and asked her to turn around (she had been watching the dogs play). When she turned around I asked her if she would want to spend her life with me.
She said yes. :)
