Engagement Photos

This past Saturday, Barry and I had our engagement pictures taken at Waterloo Park. We decided to do our engagement photos there because it is a place we often visited after I moved to Waterloo, and it's very nice. We had a great time posing for shots, and our photographer took a ton of pictures! It was sort of strange posing for these types of pictures in public, and it sure gave us a sense of what it will be like to have our pictures taken after the wedding! It was a fun day, and we can't wait to edit them and print some out!

We decided to post just a few here so you can see what types of thing to expect. There were tons of great pictures, and we'll save the rest of them for later so you can still be surprised. It was cool to have our first official wedding thing done!

Back in April, we booked Pine Knot Golf and Country Club in Dorchester for our wedding ceremony and reception. The ceremony will be outside and the reception inside, with a huge outdoor deck for mingling outdoors as well. This place was not only the best choice for us economically, it was also the nicest place we looked at BY FAR. Even the golf club in North London couldn't compare!

Our Engagement

This is a photo taken of Barry and I right after Barry proposed. He took me out for dinner to celebrate his birthday and popped the question right after we ordered dessert. I had been visiting my family in London and had taken pictures of my new nephew, John so I had my camera with me to show Barry the pictures I had taken.

I was completely shocked! I certainly was not expecting a proposal, especially on Barry's birthday.

After dinner, we came home and called everyone to tell them the good news. My family and friends were just as shocked and surprised as I was! Some of Barry's friends and family already knew, and his mom was not surprised at all. She said she was expecting something after our last visit to St. Thomas.

So this first blog about our engagement is an introduction to our wedding blog. There will be a lot of blogs at first, in order to update everyone about the details we have planned so far. We will try to update everyone as time goes on with new posts about our ongoing plans.
