My girlfriend
and I had been dating for more than two years
when in February 2008 we took a
walk around a lake we frequently visited and I
asked her if she would marry me. We planned a
wedding for August 2008 about the date of our
anniversary. Planning a wedding is a lot of work so
she stopped working a few months before the wedding day
to focus on the many wedding details. But despite
her efforts, in the weeks prior to our wedding
on occasion it was necessary to make
arrangements to meet with the
photographer, decide on some detail related to
the reception, go to the court, etc. After work we
met several times for premarital
counseling or discussed aspects of the wedding
plans. It was neat being together planning all this
but somewhat overwhelming at times. We would like
to thank Cesar and Lucero, Karina, my mother and the many
friends who helped tremendously with
the numerous wedding details and whose help greatly
facilitated our wedding day. Planning a
wedding is a tremendous undertaking and we hope the
notes under "articles" from our experience will
help you in planning the wedding of your
dreams.
