Double rainbow during our planning session, that's got to be good luck right?!

I love my bridesmaids!

I'm getting together with my lovely bridesmaids (Marloe, Kasia and Kristina) tomorrow evening, and I can't wait! I'm really looking forward to sharing this day with these wonderful girls. They've been my friends for as long as I can remember and I know they'll stand by me over then next year and three months as well as on my wedding day! <3 you all!

The ball is rolling!

Andrew and I decided to stick with tradition and we've booked the Blackhawk Country Club for our ceremony and reception to take place October 1, 2011. My grandfather has been a member of Blackhawk for over 40 years, and therefore it's obviously a special place for my family. Over all the years we've been together, it has become a special place for Andrew and me as well. Many of our birthdays, anniversaries, and other events have been hosted there - and we're sure that it will be perfect for yet another milestone in our lives! So, after checking another important decision off our list - we're one step closer to our big day and I couldn't be more excited!!

We're engaged!

We're finally on our way! Andrew asked me to marry him over the Memorial Day weekend, and I said "yes!" (of course :) ). We're thinking of tying the knot in the Fall of 2011, so we've got about a year and a few months to get ready.

So far, we've roughed out our plans, picked colors and started our guest list. We are hoping to keep the ceremony and reception very intimate, surrounded by our families and closest friends.

I hope to make this our main wedding website, and I'll keep it updated as we make other decisions.

Thank you all for helping us celebrate, we can't wait!!

Love,
(The future) Mr. and Mrs. Lorandos
