:-D

On Saturday, September 8th, 2007, Jason Trostle asked me to marry him -- and I said YES!!!!!

AN ENGAGEMENT STORY
We'd postponed a nice dinner together at Hemingway's Island Grill on the boardwalk at Pensacola Beach from the previous Saturday until this past Saturday, so that was no surprise.  I was surprised, though,

Can you give me a heads up if you end up going to Paris? So I can save money? Oh, and also to get a new passport? I just don't want to be one of those people not being able to go to HER BEST FRIENDS WEDDING BECAUSE THE PASSPORT STILL HASN'T ARRIVED.

Thanks :)

Hey, I gotcha' covered. :)

And obtw, I know you look good in pink and all (um, a little birdie told me?), but I don't think that's going to match their uniforms (which are so-dark-blue-navy-that-they-look-black for the jacket; and either blue trousers with a red stripe down the side, or the white trousers (in summer and for most weddings and such). Plus the red and gold and stuff. So... we'll brainstorm something good (I still like the idea of b&w with a splash of red, but I'm too happy to think black!)

LOL oh please - Christine, I would walk down the aisle in a chartreuse petticoat with a hoop skirt if that's what you wanted! It's your day!

You'll hear me say "it's your day!" a lot because I expect to be told that when *I* get married. If it ever happens. Just informing you.

Maybe a champagne/gold color to pick up on the gold in their buttons? Pewter/Titanium as a mid-way point between the blackish color of their jackets and the blue of their pants? A muted red to pick up on their trim?

You'll figure something out!!

Congratulations babe! Best of luck to you both!!

Thank you! :)
Btw -- how are MJ and Cletus the Fetus doing? Looking forward to reading another installment of Dear Cletus letters.....!
(And how are you holding up? You know, the puking, the moods, the pickles & ice cream (which, btw, is the name of a really nice maternity clothing shop in the DC area. In case you're ever there for... well, whatever you'd go to DC for. Besides maternity clothes...)!

Congrats! That's awesome!

[stilettosinsand]

Thank you!! :)
BTW, Kara was telling me how beautiful your wedding was; I might be emailing for pointers, suggestions and advice over the next few months (or, the way my budget is, years, LOL!).
PS - How is everything going with the docs (as in -tors, not -uments)??
