You read it correctly. I’m growing up right in front of your eyes. A few weeks ago I proposed to my girlfriend of almost 3 years and she happily accepted. We are planning a one year engagement and hope to be married in mid-April 2008.

A lot of people ask if I was nervous. The truth is… not really. When you know you have the right girl, then there’s nothing to be nervous about. I really didn’t have any doubts or thoughts of her saying no. It was just the right time to ask. I had bought the ring almost a month before I proposed and was waiting for the perfect opportunity to pop the question.

The whole wedding process is quite an ordeal. Luckily, the bride to be takes care of most of it. My top priorities are organizing the rehearsal dinner and planning the honeymoon. The bride takes care of the rest… the reception hall, cakes, dresses, invitations, favors, catering, and all that other stuff.

I know Katie has been planning her wedding for as long as she can remember. It’s going to be an exciting year no doubt. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we are fortunate to have families that love us and support us and help us along the way.

What kind of post would this be without a picture?

Here we are just moments after being engaged. Excuse the ragged clothing…we were at the beach all day :-)
