Thanks for the congrats and wellwishes.
It was just a normal day of returning home from work, and as I was walking through the back door, I saw Allan carrying a bunch of flowers that had been put in a vase. I said to him, silly me who are they from. He didn't say anything and showed me the card. The message, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Allan xxxx oooo, he then asked will I marry him. I said yes straight away and there was no doubt it was actually quite matter of fact, as in my mind without proposals or anything it was already set in my mind.I was spending the rest of my life with him. Now have told family and friends, and then of course IHD, everyone has been bugging us for a date, thinking enough time to plan and save enough $$$$$ so probably around about the same time next year.
So :yahoo; :yahoo; :yahoo;
-
:yahoo; So happy for the both of you!

:flower; That's sweet!

An IHD wedding!
How great!

Hey ... I am coming too!! :cheer:
-
Never mind the ring - I want to see a pic of the happy couple!
Congrats!
Just remember, when you are planning this shin-dig ,that just because it's traditional does not mean it's required. Only do the stuff you want to do, and skip all the rest!

I am making my airline reservations!! Is that the IHD meetup for 2010? Seriously, I am so excited for you and Allan. You have been through so much together already, the next 50 years will be a breeze!! Enjoy the planning process and being the bride to be! :2thumbsup;
-
What a beautiful spot for the reception Tamara. I'm glad to see that you are practicing posting pics because we expect to see quite a few. :beer1;
-
I picked this spot as it is special to me. My mum was sick for a very long time in the Freemasons hospital in Melbourne and opposite is the Fitzroy Gardens where we spent some times together having her time out and escapes from the hospital . She passed away in 1995 eventually from septicemia due to the immunosuppressants she was on for treatment of leukeamia and lupus.
-
:clap; I can't wait. I am saving up my frequent flyer miles!
-
Congrats Tamara. I know you are excited and the Pavillion is just
beautiful. Keep us caught up on all the plans.
Love, Mimi

:yahoo; Tamara, we want to hear about all the excitement of the planning. Sure wish I could be there but we will all be there in spirit. :beer1;
-
It is about time you posted something on the events of the planning period.... your location is beautiful as I am sure everything else will be. Please keep us posted on the up comming event and again congradulations to both Allen and yourself, I am sure that your mom will be watching over. :2thumbsup;

Yeah Tamara - you guys set a wedding date - how fabulous. We'll all be able to live vicariously through you as you plan your wedding.
My daughter's wedding was last weekend at a lighthouse in Maine and her reception was a nearby beach. Great sunny weather that day.

Hi Tamara! It has been so much fun watching this incredible journey of your life. Dating, needing a kidney, getting a kidney from Allen, a proposal from Allen and now the happy ever after wedding! No one could make this up! It is a true love story.
And yes, we all want every little detail. I love planning weddings (AlohaBeth has been planning her's since she was 16!) Like Okarol said, we want to know about colors, what your dress and the bridesmaids dresses look like. Who is the maid of honor and best man? There isn't any detail too small -- we want it all!
Most of all, we wish you so much happiness. You and Allen are already joined for life. He gave you a kidney, now he is giving you his heart. :cuddle;
-
But Paris, AlohaBeth didn't know me when she was 18!!!! :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
