OMG!!! ITS OFFICIAL...WE ARE ENGAGED!!

OBX2011

So I have chatted with several of you ladies over the past few months and even though Brent and I knew we were getting married, he officially popped the quesion on Christmas morning!!  The ring was around our Yellow Lab, Sarbelle's dog collar!  I was sooooo excited I almost fell off the sofa!  I cant stop looking at my ring....I think he upgraded it, wooo-hooo!!  LOL

Ok ladies, so I will see many of you in 2wks at the OBX Wedding Expo!

Much love & happy planning!

The future "Mrs. Thompson"

CONGRATS! How perfect! And what a cute proposal too.

Do you have any ideas for the wedding yet? I wish I could be at the Expo but I already had other travel plans. If you are still looking for a photographer though, I recommend Ginger Harvey of GingerSnaps. She rocks.

Hi Sarah!

Yes, I have tons of idea but i just can decide!  I am really really really having a very hard time deciding if I want the reception at a private event home or at an actual reception site.  I do know that the wedding ceremony will be on the beach, that is the easy part.  I have looked for months, weighed the pros & cons of each and still cannot make a decision.  Im hoping that once we go to the expo next weekend that the heavens will part and answer will just come to me, lol.

Are you going to the wedding expo?  I am very much looking forward to it!

Happy Planning!

[QUOTE]Hi Sarah!

We found that the rental homes had lots more restrictions and generally cost more, so we booked The Pearl Oceanfront Restaurant in Kill Devil Hills.</em></strong>


I do know that the wedding ceremony will be on the beach, that is the easy part. <strong><em>Yay! A Beach Ceremony will be so beautiful!!! You can't go wrong with the pictures either, with the ocean as your backdrop :)</em></strong>

Also, just spend some time driving around with your FI, see if any place catches your eyes, that's what we did.</em></strong>

Are you going to the wedding expo?  I am very much looking forward to it! Happy Planning! <strong><em>I wish I could go, but I can't make it! We already have alot of our vendors booked, so if I went it would just be for fun. Good luck! You'll find the perfect spot!!!</em></strong>

 Hi ,

Congratulations !!!!  I know that this is a bit late.  I got married in August so I am not on this site as much as I used to be.   I had a similar experience to youl.  It was my husband's idea to get married in the Outer Banks, and I agreed that would be the perfect location, but he didn't officially propose until last March , about 7 months into the planning process.   People didn't quite understand when I told them I was planning a wedding, but I wasn't engaged.  Even my parents, when I called them a few minutes after he proposed,and I was excitedly telling them, "We got engaged !!!"  They were like , "you are getting married this summer, aren't you already engaged?"   They just didn't understand, it wasn't official until I got the proposal and the ring.   So, I am very happy for you.  

Did everything end up working out ok with your house?

@ Stressmess....YES!!!  The house eventually worked itself out.  Since we decided to have the reception at 108 Budleigh the stress of finding the perfect event home went right out the window since I no longer had to worry about having the event there.  It makes it A LOT easier to find a non-event home with 8 bedrooms...the options were endless!

Thanks!!!
