I have such a great way to start the week today, a gorgeous surprise proposal, designed by Sarah of Brilliant Event Planning.  Christian flew all the way from Mexico to New York to create the perfect proposal for his lovely girlfriend Jilma.

Christian lured Jilma to Ramscale Studios, where inside waited an accoustic guitar and Spanish-speaking vocalist performing “Quieres Casar Conmigo” (Will …

H & I got engaged July 31, 2010 in foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. After a wonderful 2 years of dating, H suggested that we celebrate our anniversary wine tasting and stay at a B&B. He took care of booking the B&B, and I got to choose the vineyards – Sweely Estate Winery, Barboursville Vineyards, and Horton Vineyards.

We stayed …

When I was a little girl, I used to ask my grandmother (“Mom Mom”, if you will) why her engagement ring was silver.  She, being quite the feisty Italian, would reprimand me every time I asked with a quick “Sunshine, this is platinum.  One day, you’ll find a nice Italian boy and maybe he’ll give you platinum too.”  I’d just …

Greetings, EAD readers! My name is Kathleen, I’m from Atlanta, Georgia, and I got hitched about four months ago to my grad-school sweetheart. I’m so happy to be here guest-blogging about my wedding for y’all this week! If you’ve somehow found your way to my little corner of the internet already and have been following me there, don’t fret – …

I am thrilled about this exciting opportunity to write about my upcoming wedding for EAD. When I became engaged I was overwhelmed with friends’ suggestions as to great wedding websites. While I found a few creative ideas here and there at other sites, I immediately fell in love with EAD and I have continued to visit nearly every day. It …

I knew this was coming, but I had no idea when. As far as I was concerned, Captain Awesome hadn’t talked to my parents. I was convinced my mom would have slipped that to me on purpose/accident, whatever. But she didn’t. They lied to me for weeks.

The mission was appointed for Thursday night. It was my first night off of …

Hi again friends!  Anybody want to hear a story?  I like to call it “He Asked and She Said Yes (I Think).”

Dave had been acting in a somewhat mysterious manner for about two weeks.  My inner Nancy Drew was curious (Scarlet Slipper Mystery, anyone?), and my inner bride-to-be was hopeful (given the fact that, at that point, we’d been together …

After becoming engaged, I quickly found out that after you receive the congratulations and ring inspection then comes the questions. One of which being “how did Tristan propose?!”

From the beginning, our relationship was easy. We had an immediate connection and everything came natural to us. There were no embarrassing moments or awkward silences. It really feels as though we have …

Since I knew Brian for years before we even dated, once we started dating, it didn’t take either of us long to know that we were going to get married one day. We talked about marriage here and there over the years we dated, but Brian was adamant about several things: 1) me not knowing when he was going to …

This was written by the mister, and posted with his permission. I just couldn’t resist giving you his side of the story because he is such a talented writer (I’m so proud!) and let’s face it, I didn’t know what was going on this whole time so he’s the only one who can truly tell it!

One of the personality traits …

The night before the big day, Mike insisted that we go hiking the next morning. His reasoning was that the weather is so nice now and it will get way too hot to go soon. I suggested going to Superstition because we had never been there together before, but he insisted on going to South Mountain and he insisted that …

Despite being together for over three and a half years, Jason and I had always spent the holidays apart. I would brave the snow and cold to visit my family in Erie, Pennsylvania while Jason would travel to visit his mom in eastern North Carolina. This past Christmas, however, we found ourselves faced with a dilemma. After finishing my degree, …
