Here’s the second, previously “unreleased” photos from our engagement session. These contain a lot of candid, random shots that my mom took of us. I got a kick out of looking at them. Enjoy!

The last bit - we had an awesome time.

Thanks for viewing!

I cannot believe that our wedding is 15 weeks from today! Time is just flying by!

Wedding plans are going well. I had no idea how many decisions went into the big day, but each one is a joy to make. I got my wedding dress back in January, then began to search for the bridesmaid’s dresses. I found a dress that I absolutely love for them in red and I think it looks just beautiful on each and every one of the girls! Right now, my closet looks sort of like a dress store with 7 red dresses hanging in it!

Since the color of our wedding has been chosen (red), mom and I have begun to collect red things to decorate at the reception. Our dining room is beginning to fill with wedding stuff as we get bows made, ring bearer pillows sown,  centerpieces created, and ring bearer/flower girl benches made.

Our home is also under construction, getting ready for the big day. The painters have put a fresh coat of paint on the house, we’re waiting on the shutters dad made to be finished painting, Ryan has come to help my dad get the banisters completed, the landscaping people have been waiting for this beautiful weather to begin their work, and mom has been deciding where pictures should be hung. It is so special to me for so many people to be working so hard towards the big day.

I had such fun choosing colors, dishes, bakeware, sheets, etc for our new home when mom and I went to register. We will be living in an apartment in Aiken Village on the campus of Mississippi State University. We will be in the married student housing section over the next few years while Ryan completes his degree at MSU. I look forward to getting our little home fixed up in June!

I will continue to keep the website updated with plans and details as they become available. Thanks to everyone for your comments in the guestbook! It is so special to have such a wonderful group of friends! God has truly blessed us!

Thank you for sharing in this joyful time with Ryan and me!
