Although I followed the boards a bit prior to the wedding (to get some ideas/advice), I never made a planning journal. So I'll bring you up to speed, then tell you how fabulous our wedding and how wonderful everyone was!
Everyone seems to give a little background on themselves... so for that:
Wayne and I met in March 2006 through work- he was my boss! We started "officially" dating in May 2006 and have been inseparable since. Oh yea, we don't work together anymore! We did the "for richer and poorer" and "sickness and health" thing wayyyyyyyyy before the wedding. Here is our first "official" picture as a couple:
On July 10, 2007, Wayne and I went to his mother's house for dinner. I was slightly suspcious because of a conversation he had with his mom... but I really didn't have any solid "proof". That night, his mom told me where to sit at dinner... I thought "this is it!" and checked the salad, inside the glass, under the napkin, EVERYTHING! NOTHING!!!! I was sooooooooo disappointed through dinner... then came dessert. By this time I was "over it" so to speak and didn't think it was happening. His stepdad was chatting with me, while his mom put a candy dish out. I was in my own little Rachael world chatting away, when I noticed the candies, M&M's, were purple (my favorite color) and white. I looked at them and noticed a few had my name on them... then I realized the rest said "will you marry me?" As I'm piecing this all together, I see Wayne's mom with the camera and he was down on his knee, smile from ear to ear. I was in such shock, he actually said "well, will you???" because I wasn't answering. His mom said "can I see" and still in shock, I handed her the dish of M&M's... she said "not the candy, the ring!!!" Here's the real engagement shots:
Next post... Planning

We knew we wanted a Friday or Sunday because, at least here, that's cheaper! (And we were footing the bill, not either sets of parents). So we picked 09/26/08. Clearly we had the 9 and the 8 going... and we figured 2+6=8 so that worked too... then it really worked when Jr. became the 88, then we had the two 8's for hubby... 
So we had the "big" deposit coming up with the country club (wedding and reception site) and I started FREAKING!!! We had just bought a house and things were tight
