The Meeting of The Parents..

..Went off without a hitch. My parents arrived on Thursday, April 15th and Stephan’s parents arrived on Friday, April 16th. Our parents spent most of the weekend getting to know each other, which seemed to flow very easily. I have determined that my mom and his mom could be big trouble together! By the end of the weekend, both moms were sharing baby & grade school pictures that they had kept in their wallets all this time! The men spent some time outside doing yard work and bonding over tree trimming.
We spent the weekend exploring new places and enjoying home cooked food. On Saturday, we ventured up to the new and improved Choctaw Casino and enjoyed lunch in a 50’s diner. Sunday we met up with a friend for brunch in Watauga, TX at the Chef Pointe CafĂ©, which has been featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives (FoodNetwork). We had some very yummy comfort food there! We took some time and drove around the new Cowboy Stadium and then it was back home for a homemade rib dinner!! I swear all we did was eat throughout the whole weekend!! It was back to work for both Stephan and I on Monday but we were able to spend time with our families on Monday night, before his parents left on Tuesday.
I’m so very excited that everyone had such a great time! We will all be together again in just a few short months!! I’ll have some pictures soon!!


Love,

Wedding #1

Yes, that’s right; we are going to have TWO weddings! I will never forget Stephan’s and my trip to Mexico City in March 2008. Stephan and I had only been together for 4 months and we traveled to Mexico City for a Quinceanera. I had never met Stephan’s extended family before but it didn’t take long for Stephan to get the seal of approval and then we were bombarded with questions about getting married and the planning had begun. I quickly learned that we would get to have 2 weddings. Two years later, we decided to have one wedding in NH and then one in Mexico City in 2011.

Our NH wedding will take place on August 14, 2010. It is going to be casual and fun, which totally represents what Stephan and I are all about. What better way to celebrate our special day than to be surrounded by our close family and friends in my hometown. Stephan has never been to NH in the summer and this will be his parents first time to NH so I’m really looking forward to showing them around. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can spend some time on the lake!We are so very excited!! 133 more days!

Introduction

Stephan and I wanted to start this blog so that our friends and family who are near and far will be updated as to the goings on in our world, especially with all of the wedding planning and the chaos! We had started a personal wedding website but it wasn’t nearly as fun updating it as I am sure this will be. This blog will also be one that will journey with us through our wedding planning adventures, our travels, weekend fun, day to day craziness and eventually when we start to plan a family. We are really excited about starting this and we hope you enjoy sharing it with us!

Love,
