Ok, I''m in Mackinac and there is free wifi at the B&B.

We''re taking a quick break before we head out to the bars and such.

BTW... He did not say ''engaged'' he said, ''This is where we want to get married'' LOL. Sorry for the slip.

Oh, and I never wear jewelry, so wearing a ring is *super* weird for me. I''m still adjusting. LOL

I will post ring stats when I get back, as I don''t have all the numbers with me

Thanks again everyone for your congratulations! I know it sounds cheesy, but its so nice to come online and see all the nice things you all have to say. I kind of teared up. LOL. Shut up! Getting engaged makes you emotional!

oh you poor darling!!

 

[laurenfischer5]

[mrscushion]

Congratulations, elle -- I''m thrilled for you. Your ring is beautiful and the proposal was super-romantic and wonderful. YAY!

OMG ELLE!!!!!!!! A BIG CONGRATS TO YOU!!!!!!!!

I had no idea it was happening THIS early in June! What wonderful news for you!!! The setting is just simply stunning for that gorgeous diamond of yours. I truly LOVE-LOVE-LOVE it for you!!! Sounds like he did a great job with the proposal. So romantic! I wish you all of life''s true happiness as you deserve it

I can''t believe he wants to get married THIS fall!! Did you know about this? Or did I miss that part....oh my gosh you better get to planning missy!

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!! more pictures PLEASE

 

[ash313]

ELLE!!! I just happened to lurk today and saw this!! Yayyyy for another Michigan bride!!

This is so exciting! Where is the wedding???

See you in BWW!

 

[Lauren8211]

Thanks again everyone!!

DG - We wanted a fall wedding. We decided after we got engaged that we''d see if we could make it this fall, since we didn''t want to wait another year. Just so happened the venue/photog we wanted were available, so we jumped on it!

leeNY: We''re having our ceremony in the Michigan Union building on State St. (You went to U of M, right? So you should be familiar!

) It''s in the Kuenzel room on the 1st floor. Our reception will be in La Dolce Vita...(below the Chop House on Main St) There is a private room down there that is *gorgeous*... the one where he proposed.

We are booking Mimzy''s photog... Melissa Squires... we got lucky with her on *short* notice!

 

[bubbly1126]

Elle, we''re engagement twins!

CONGRATS!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOO awesomeness! I want either summer or fall. We sure do love the trees when the leaves change colors in the fall. We''ve even decorated S''s place with various leaf stuff because he loves it so much. Not sure if you will go with the "fall" theme or not, but I''d certainly LOVE to do that!

So you''ve got the date set already too?!

We won''t really have a fall theme, but we will have fall colors/warm colors for flowers.

I notice that a lot of couples do that these days. I wouldn't worry about that! I'll have to check out BWW quite often to keep up with your wedding planning cause your like a PS sister to me

I don't want to miss anything! I feel bad that I missed this but I've been swamped with projects at work...

ETA- otherwise I would have congratulated you on the day you posted this thread!
