I Said Yes to the Dress!

Hey guys!

It's been a while since I posted an update. There are a few more developments I want to let you in on!

First of all I chose a dress! Not just any dress. THE dress! I tried on 7. I could only eliminate 2 and I was getting frustrated. Then....I tried on the very. last. dress on my list.



And boom! Done. It is perfect. I cannot wait for Mr. Mayo to see it!!

We also have an officiant!

His name is Randy Brothers. He was my supervisor when I worked at Volunteers of America. He is an amazing person. He is charitable, funny, positive, and just a great person to know and be around. He is the perfect person to marry me and Brett!


Lastly, we have scheduled our engagement pictures!! They will be November 12th. We are going to take them in Brett's back yard and around his neighborhood. We will be transforming his back yard into a comfy, cozy, romantic little spot!



This is perfect for several reasons:
1. Brett asked me out on our first date in his back yard.
2. This will be our first home together!
3. Our favorite things to do together are definitely "home" type things. Walking the dog, watching storms on the front porch, and playing baseball with ping pong balls in the back yard :)

So there you have it. I can't wait to share more of our journey to the aisle! Only 242 days! Seems like forever, but I know it will go by quickly. :)

Ceremony Site!

We have a ceremony site!

Brett's "uncle" (read: a very close family friend) and his wife have VERY generously allowed us to use their farm and home for our wedding ceremony!

We are excited to be able to incorporate some warm, family touches in our big day. We are excited to put our creative mojo to work! (Ok, maybe that's more ME and his uncle's wife that is excited about that!)



Sunny Day Farm is gorgeous! And the house? It's 110 years old! It is colorful, and magnificent, and belongs in a magazine. It will be the perfect place for Brett and I to exchange vows.

So, one more thing to mark off the list! (Kind of a biggie, too...so relieved to have that taken care of!) :)
