You might have noticed that in our engagement pictures, the fiance opted for the scruffy look as seen here:

I, personally, am a fan of the scruff.

Just a little warning to the city of Chicago.
Saturday is the night of my bachelorette party.
A face like this might make an appearance:This face= good times surrounded by great friends. and perhaps a beer. or two. Mommy tends to attempt to cut me off after two beverages so we'll just leave it at that.
So beware and don't say I didn't warn you.
And if any of my bloggity friends are going to be in Chicago for the weekend and want to meet up out on the town in a non-creepy-i-only-know-you-through-your-blog sort-of way, drop a comment and we shall see if we can make it happen.

Our photographer Nicole posted our engagement pictures last night. When she e-mailed me, I called Chris so that we could look at them together. We are both still in awe.
or maybe this one

My florist was so worried about disappointing me after I shed a tear while in her presence that she made me a sample of my bridal bouquet for free. It is magnificent.
We are going with an all white bouquet of spider mums and little "button" mums with a couple of white dahlias. It's going to be the prettiest bouquet e-v-e-r.

When I told you that the sample of the bridesmaid bouquet that I picked up on Friday couldn't have been more breathtaking, I wasn't kidding.
Please excuse the poor image from my cell phone.
The raspberry isn't EXACTLY as dark as I would like it, but it's certainly better than the colors (like orange) that appeared in the first bouquet I picked up.
We can breathe easy now.
