The Moments We'll Remember Forever

.  I've mentioned several times before that I have some fun, exciting wedding updates for you all.

And now it's finally time to spill the beans.

Except for one small fact...I can't.  Yet.

Because you see, one of my exciting wedding updates is that with the help of my dear mom and soon-to-be mother-in-law, 'I said yes to the dress!'


And then it dawned on me that, yeah, I can't share much with you: I can't post any pictures, give any details, nuttin'!  Because who knows when Robbie will hop on over to LSM to see what's been going on.  But what I can tell you is that I most definitely had that moment when I knew it was the one.

Yes, I cried.  I couldn't help it.  I never thought I'd be that person but it was just a flood of emotion that came too fast.  There was no controlling it.  But honestly, I'm glad it happened.  Because from there on out I knew in the back of my mind that it was it.  I did try on other dresses and we even ventured to another bridal salon just for kicks.  But then we marched right on back to our first appointment venue and proclaimed my decision.  Cheers!

Fortunately, my second wedding update is one that involves nothing BUT pictures.  

Yes.  Engagement photos!

It's been a long time coming but I can't explain to you enough how elated I am with our engagement photos.  Robbie and I are no naturals in front of the camera, but Brandon Werth, of Brandon Werth Photography, was the only person who could have captured such memorable photos for us.  

I could go on for days about how wonderful the engagement session was, how much fun Robbie and I both had, and how truly blessed we felt to have snagged Brandon as our photographer.  But you can see all of that in his pictures.  And what's even more fortunate is that Brandon will be our wedding day photographer, too.  Can't.  Even.  Wait. for his magic to unleash!

Well enough babbling.  Aside from the engagement session preview Brandon posted on his blog, here are some of our favorite snapshots from that special day in October...
