Proposal photos

Kha Do: what a wonderful and gifted friend you are. Thank you for capturing this moment for us and sharing it with us.

Tuesday morning, July 28. We got up early in the morning to see the famous Charles Bridge. Ben thought it would be a good idea to pull me aside and start having a private conversation.

Why are you saying all of these sappy things, Ben? Oh, wait... this is far from a normal conversation...
Ben: "Are you going to say yes?" DUH!

Oh my gosh. I can't believe this just happened.

This was probably one of the most amazing moments of the whole proposal. Everyone's support was overwhelming and incredibly encouraging.

That just happened!!!

Overjoyed.

The big day

First things first: Ben and I have set the wedding for Saturday, March 13, 2010. At this point it will be a 2:00pm ceremony followed by a cake reception. Everything will take place at our church, Northwest Community Church. I have found my dress (yay!) and am anxiously awaiting its November arrival.

I still really want to have suits versus tuxes. My hope is that that will work out. Brown suits are being considered, since I'd like the colors to be brown, yellow and green (think sunflower).

The guest list is going to be ridiculously huge. From NCC alone there are at least 200 people I want to invite. When you add in both of our extended families, people from Calvary Chapel Central, and other friends... the list gets enormous -- haven't quite decided what to do about that yet.

On a different note, we got to spend time with the NCC Czech team at Megan's tonight. It was so much fun to talk and play card games, as well as eat absolutely delicious food served up by the lovely Kimm Brown. I'm stoked that she gave me the recipe for the blueberry dessert she makes. Ben loves it, so I foresee it being a favorite in our home.
