We're Getting Married!!!


You can stop rubbing your eyes and no, you don't need to pull out your glasses because you read it right folks. Matty and I are getting married! He asked me last Saturday night on the anniversary of our first date and I said Yes!
The night was a little crazy, a little disastrous and a lot of fun. It went a little something like this:

Matt showed up at my house with the most beautiful bouquet of Star Gazer Lillis. We went to Costco to brows because it was a special day and Matt loves me. (note: Matt does not like Costco, especially browsing at Costco. So yes, this was special.) We had so much fun at Costco that we lost track of time, had to rush back to my house to change and ran out the door just as we should have been seated at Morton's Steak house for our 7:30 reservation. After calling the restaurant to tell them we'd be there in 10 minutes we proceeded to make 3 wrong turns and ended up at the airport. We didn't arrive at Morton's until about 8:15. Oops.

The people at the restaurant made it so special for us by taking a complimentary picture of us and printing up personalized menus. The only problem was that they misspelled both of our names and couldn't get our food right.

Our steak came out burnt to a crisp and not good the first time and almost completely raw in the middle the second time. As you can see, Matt was not impressed. Look really close though and you may just see a smile in those eyes. We thought it was kind of hilarious and just a little bit fitting.

After dinner we went for a walk along the Charles River in Cambridge. Matt and I took a lot of walks along the river throughout the summer and when we first started dating, so it's kind of a special place for us.

After walking for a while we stopped at a bench to look over the Boston skyline and to reminisce about how great the past year has been. Matt then dropped to his knee and asked me to marry him to which I of course said yes.

I'm so in love with my Matty and I can't wait to be his wife. Oh gosh, that sounds so weird . . . doesn't it? Wife. :)
