Wow! We are so grateful to have won this - we’re still in a state of shock!
With a prize such as this, one really thinks to themselves "what are the odds we’ll win" when filling out a ballot, yet here we are in the middle of telling everyone the progress, and showing them potential wedding plans for them to vote on. We’ve been very busy working out many plans already, and it’s almost as if we’re both waiting to wake up from this wonderful dream! We’ve pinched eachother many times to test, but we sure are awake and it really is happening!
As some of you may have heard, we had the awesome opportunity of meeting some of the crew from behind the scenes of Mix 97 and Rock 107. We were greeted by many staff from Quinte Broadcasting as well as Quinte Mall, and even Greg Sheridan of Sans Souci. They welcomed us with an amazing bouquet of flowers, a digital camera for documenting the journey, a goodie bag from The Body Shop, and our 6-month Goodlife Fitness memberships. As if that wasn’t enough, we had amazing vocalist Sean Jones serenade us with a beautiful love song, live!
After we had shared our morning with Quinte Broadcasting we went to Sears’ Portrait Studio and met with Stephanie where we were able to have engagement photos done! They turned out absolutely perfect! Stephanie worked with us to find amazing poses, and her experience has us anxiously awaiting those prints!
I’ve had an opportunity to start my Goodlife membership and it’s been great so far. It just so happens that one of my bridesmaids also has a membership there and it’s been a lot of fun having "girls nights" at the gym! Tyler hasn’t had the chance to pop in yet as we’ve been busy moving and he’s been the one doing all of the hard stuff. He’s good like that.
The kids are getting really excited - well our oldest is anyways. She was so excited when we told her that we won that she cried. Our two boys are too young to understand what’s going on. All they know is mommy and daddy got a new camera from Blacks and have been snapping photos all over the place! And also they keep hearing things on the radio and getting all excited, "Oh, honey…. It’s playing… they said our names!!!!" Someday they will understand how much of an amazingly unique and special wedding their mommy and daddy had.
Went to Lisa & Grace’s bridal shop this week and tried on dresses! Wow, not a dry eye in the house! Lol Lisa and Grace were so great to deal with and welcomed us very warmly. They knew just what looked great on me and as a result, we were able to pick two absolutely beautiful dresses!!! I can’t wait to see which dress everyone votes for. I know I couldn’t decide!
