View Full Version : I'm getting married!!!
I shared my awesome news with one very special Pixie who said I should make an announcement, which is a great idea since I've been a Pixie for like forever. ;)
Joe, my betrothed, popped the big question on my 45 birthday/our five-year living together anniversary. Of course I said yes and where is my ring. :huh:
He didn't have a ring picked out because he wanted me to have a say on what would be on my finger for the rest of my life. So, about three weeks later he took me to two jewelry stores and showed me the rings he liked. It was the very first ring I had tried on that stole my heart, so that day he bought it and I've been wearing it every day since. *picture of ring enclosed*
We are going to Savannah, Georgia to elope on Oct. 20, 2011. We picked Savannah because it's a city neither of have been to, and because it's not so far we can't visit on our many anniversaries to come.
After much online research, I found this adorable white wedding chapel that was built in 1902 and renovated in 2008 and this great minister who will perform our lovely and private ceremony. The only other person there will be a photographer to capture the memories, since Joe and I are getting old and memories are failing us fast!
We are staying in the historic district at this old and charming hotel that has a veranda. We will be there five days to soak up the sites.
I'm so super exicted. Joe is the man of my dreams and the best thing to ever happen to me.
Thanks for letting me run on and if anyone has ever been to Savannah's Historic District and has some great advice, PLEASE give it to me. :)

Congrats! Only thing I can tell you about Savannah is that it's a great place to get tattoos. Especially if you're 18 and live in South Carolina where the law is you have to be 21 or 18 with parental consent.

Well.... congrats again to you, wonderful woman that you are!!!! So happy for you both!
Savannah is a fantastic city and VERY romantic. Lots of history, parks, the river walk, Tybee Island, quaint little pubs.... well I could go on & on! Mrs Coaster & I LOVE Savannah! It's especially fun over the St Paddy's Day holiday!
Keep in touch with us pixie-folk and I wish I was the lucky photographer!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes! :kisser: I had to come here and gush a little because I think I'm starting to drive the people at work crazy with all my wedding talk.
I have done so much research on Savannah that I will be a real expert by the time October gets here. Although, I didn't know about the tatoos. Thanks Lord Snow :thumbs:
Coaster honey, if you were my photographer I highly doubt those prints would be innocent enough to send to family. Someday!! :brows:

Many congratulations to you both Tess. October is a lovely time of year - I'm biased mind you, cos that's when my daughter was born - and I'm quite certain you'll have a perfect day!
Go you!!! :D

Congratulations, Tess! What wonderful news. My wife and I wish you all the happiness in the world. We're approaching our 48th wedding anniversary in June, and, I still think of my wife as my bride. I hope after your 40th, 50th or even 60th anniversary, the two of you will still be newlyweds in each others eyes.
God bless!

more days to go!
Sheesh I'm exhausted!!! :faint:
I worked this morning and then came home and packed and packed and packed some more. Seriously, I'm a little worried our Honda Fit won't be able to hold all our luggage. Joe offered to rent a U-haul.....since he knows I'm NOT going to lighten the load. Gotta love him! :lurv:
We leave for Savannah in the morning and of course it's going to be a terrible rainy day. Blows my first day itinerary all to hell! :mad:
But that is OK, because we already decided that if it's too nasty to go out for dinner we will order in and drink a little :wine: and think of something to do, like.... :sex: :69: :molest: .....or watch HGTV :thumbs:
I love you all! :loveyou: And I love my Joe!! :loveshowe

The wedding was lovely and just what Joe and I wanted. Savannah is wonderful!! The shrimp and grits were scrumptious, as were the other 10 different ways I ate shrimp.
I'm on my way to bed with my husband, but will return soon with some pics.
