Engaged!

3 months into the engagement and I am JUST now starting this blog. Am I even a dork for blogging?! I've never really been one to blog, so if I'm sucking at this, feel free to tell me! (only in a nice way..I'm not good with bluntness)

So rewind to June 7 which was the day. THE DAY! The day when my very best friend asked me to marry him. Granted, I had been going on and on (to the point where I just figured it never would happen) about getting engaged. I've known for so long that Brendan was the guy that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. It was just frustrating that a lot of my friends were getting married and engaged and here I was without a doubt in my mind that Brendan was who I was supposed to marry and he was taking his sweet time! That's besides the point. The point is, is that he asked and I said yes, and he's my fairy tale, my happily ever after. Danielle used to tell me that I need to stop comparing every relationship to fairy tales but with Brendan, it is a fairy tale or at least I certainly feel as if I am in one. Everything is right when it comes to me and him. It's the EASIEST relationship I've ever been in. Not to say that we don't have our quarrels. Come on, do you seriously not know me and how moody I can be?! When I say easiest, I mean natural. Everything just seems like-it's supposed to be. Not to be cliche' but it does!

Ohh yea, you may be wondering how he proposed. Right?! Well,I am going to copy and paste here from our wedding website. : Brendan came to Jenn's hometown of Dillon and was going to help her pack up her classroom the following day and put together a bookshelf. He had also told her that he wanted to go with her mother to look at rings. After everything was done in her classroom (it was the last day of school for teachers). Brendan asked Jenn to close her classroom door. He then told her that she needed to call her mother to tell her that they did not need to go look at rings today. Jenn said okay and asked why. Brendan responded that he already had a ring. Then he got on his knee and proposed in the place Jenn loves best-her classroom! Jenn was definitely surprised and speechless. Brendan had to remind her that he needed an answer and of course Jenn said YES! An announcement was made on the intercom to the entire school 'Brendan and Jenn are engaged!'

So here we are. ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED! Seriously, I don't think I've stopped smiling since he asked. He's got to know how incredibly happy he makes me!

Planning: Wedding planning is SOOOOOOO much fun!! I have done quite a bit in the 3 short months that we've been engaged! We've got the church booked, the reception hall, the cake lady, the caterer, the photographer, had our engagement pictures done, hired a dj,picked our save the dates, and most important- found THE dress and purchased it!

Okay, so I am going to hopefully update soon! As for now, I've got to go get ready for some Carolina football!! GO COCKS!
