OT: our engagement announcement
I came into work this morning to find this past's weekend's Sunday engagement section on my desk. There was an engagement announcement of FH and I. I think his mom sent in the info., I'm not sure as I haven't had a chance to talk to her yet.
But it made me smile. It's the first time I had an "engagement" announcement and I feel like a little girl planning her "big day"..even though I'm not planning on having a big wedding, a ceremony on the beach in Jamaica is what we want.
I just thought I'd share my happiness..
I wonder if BM will see it..LOL!

:) Oh, I'm so happy for you.

A wedding on a beach in Jamaica-hey, do you need a bridesmaid? Just one? I've never been and would walk on rocks to go
CONGRATS!!
I thought about something like that for FH and I. Something I can keep and frame. my exH dad did one for us in his homestate. FH wanted me to get a picture from when he proposed, title it WE'RE ENGAGED!! and disseminate it to the whole base, but I was too embarrassed. It's been over a month now, so I don't think it'd make sense to send it to the local newspaper.
I meant to PM you about your wedding. I thought about having a destination wedding, but am unsure of how to handle the situation with the SK's. Are they going to be there? Or will you elope, stay there for your honeymoon, then come back and have the big reception? That's what I planned on, but I don't know anymore.
Congratulations
Congratulations on your engagement!
It's not too late!
Why would it be too late to announce it? Do it-I have scarbook at home so I'm going to cut the article out and put it in my scrapbook.
Not sure about the SK's..FH has family in Jamaica so that is one huge finance we don't have to worry about..a place for his family to stay...and SK's..we would get a hotel room at least for the honeymoon night :). The first SS5 we have (or FH has) custody of so that wouldn't be a problem. but the other SS2 I don't know if BM would let him go. FH's mom already asked to take him to vacation this past February and she refused saying she had plans to go away that week..and than just stopped returning calls. I think FH would have to go to court and get a stricter visitation schedule that outlined weeks also. I'm not sure what will happen but I'm sure BM will fight it.

Maybe I will
i just didn't want it to be stupid, since it was so long ago. Did your FMIL send a picture of you guys in as well? Former FIL sent in an formal engagement picture of ex and I.
I wish I had family in Jamaica. That was where I was looking at as well. I can buy a pretty white flowy dress for the ceremony, have my hair curling loosely down my back with a flower behind my ear (or something like that) and be barefoot on the beach. Then go home and have the fancy wedding gown, hair perfect, and friends and family around. (Sigh)
I don't think BM will cause a problem with us having the kids. But then again, i don't know anymore. She's upset b/c we called her out over email. Don't forget you'll need their passports if you haven't gotten those already.

totally awesome! That's what we did Sept '07 - it was incredible! We enjoyed it so much, we went back last Sept for our 1st anniversary. Our wedding & anniversary pics are posted on myspace page, pm me if you want the link.
The engagement announcement is exciting - I remember ours! It was in both of our hometown papers and in the regional paper. We got copies sent to us from so many people and even one of our local politicians sent us a special commemorative clipping that his office staff had made.
CONGRATS!
no picture
She didn't send a picture in..which I'm fine with...because I don't like any of the pics we have together..lol. We are supposed to go get our pics taken so I guess now I have more motivation to do it.
FH has his passport, but I don't have one..I have to start the process now..SS5 has one also I beleive as he traveled to Jamaica a few years ago.
I don't know what we'll do as far as friends and family here. Have a reception when we come home? No idea...funds are a big part of it to consider
Thankfully with him having family over there, I would just have to worry about my parents and sisters getting over there and staying.

Big reception!!
I think a big reception when you get home for extended family, friends, coworkers, etc. If it's in the budget. Try renting out a hall, and having a buffet style meal. Have each family member bring a side dishes and desserts, provide the main course. I'm going to PM you my email, and we can chat there. I have a bunch of beautiful budget friendly idea for the reception!!
An intimate ceremony for family, then go home and PARTY!!!
We did the reception

two weeks after we returned from Jamaica - it was a blast! We rented the local American Legion Hall and did everything ourselves,preparing the barbeque and all the food, the decorations, etc., with the help of my family.
OH!!! I'm so excited for you!
congrats a million times over! You're going to have such a beautiful wedding honey!!
congrats!
I hope your big day is perfect. Enjoy every second of it
Frame that puppy...
Or save it in an album. My SM sent in our engagement pic & announcement to our newpaper as well...of course I don't get the paper so she had to give it to me when it came out LOL It was a sweet gesture though, because I certainly wouldn't have done it myself. I have it saved with all our wedding momentos. Congrats

Jamaica, on the beach, how perfect. I'm jealous!
