My girls....

Of course leave it to Libby and CDM to have such thoughtful sweet post about our Engagement Party. It was a great action packed weekend and I'm waiting to get the pictures to put together the full weekend recap.

Pictured are none other then five fabulous ladies in my life. I'd say I have one good looking wedding party!
Kate, Amy aka "A of fav couple", Kimba, Sara, Jenna and MOH Liane.

More to come promise!!!

One year ago

Last Christmas Eve we headed down to the beach and got engaged! If you click on the link and scroll down there are a few pix.

We're about to take a little trip back down memory lane and go back to the spot!!! The nice thing is when we come home we won't be making 500 phone calls! :)

Merry Merry Christmas to all my preppy witty wonderful bloggers I love you all!

Cheers!!!

xo,

What a can

I just had to take a picture of the "can" Music guy used to mark the spot for his sister to put the blanket. I never thought i would love a sandy Pepsi can as much as i do! :)

In other wedding news...Music Guy and I are sitting down to really put our guest list together. That should be fun! We are also waiting on a wedding packet to be sent to a place we are thinking about using. There are a few things we're not a fan of, but we'll figure it out. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks we can jet out there and look around. Woohoo the Vineyard in January!

Done and done

I am keeping my setting. I really do love it, and it looks so good on my finger and it really is so pretty, i thought i "knew" what i wanted but i really think what i have is what i want! So that is what i am sticking with! And i love it!!! It really is ALL THINGS KIMBA! :)
Thanks C :)

Kind of a ring pic

That is not a very good picture of the ring, it is a round stone but this makes it look well not round (it was taken with my phone). I will have my mom take a picture and i'll post it soon. And then i'll also post a picture after i get the new band. That won't be until after the first of the year, HA...guess that's not to far away!

A glass of Champagne and a Nantucket basket in the picture, just another example of "All Things Kimba"! Wow, I need to get out more :)!

Who doesn't love pictures!

Here is a pictures of the blanket and the other goodies! You can see with the shadows how sunny it was!

And our first picture as an engaged couple. Not the best "people" picture, but it truly was perfect! I get such a big smile when I look at this picture and remember one of the most perfect and special days in my life!

I'll post more pictures after Music Guys mom and my mom send them to us! They have more fun people pictures from when we first got back to the house.

A very Merry Christmas

I hope you all had a very wonderful Christmas! I did indeed! My mom and I headed down to the Cape on Christmas Eve morning, Music Guy got up early and left first thing. My mom and I had to do a little more shopping so we figured we'd go to the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis as appose to any of the malls on Rt. 3. I had to get a new pair of shoes as I noticed when I was driving the ones I was wearing were starting to fray. Annoying, I had only wore them twice. Argh! Anywho, we finally got to Music Guy's parents and their house was decorated so beautiful! (like always)

A few days ago Music Guy told me he always goes down to the beach to toast his sister for Christmas. There is a rock off of Craigsville Beach in Centerville that is the center point of where they laid his sisters ashes in the ocean. He had asked if I would like to join him and I of course wanted to.

We got to their house around 1ish, watched a little bit of the Pats game and then we were off to the beach. It was a little cloudy but when we got to the beach the sun came out and it was so peaceful. We were the only ones on the beach, Music Guy kept point to what looked like the rock and there was also a ferry heading out to Nantucket it was neat to be able to be there with him to share in his special tradition.

All of a sudden he looks over and says "What the fuck...what is that..what do you think that is" and I was trying to figure out what he was talking about. It was a blanket and roses and a bottle of Champagne and I turn to him and he is on one knee and asked me to marry him!!! Of course I started crying and was so shocked. I had NO idea it was going to happen over Christmas, I knew it was going to be over the next couple months. We were still the only ones on the beach it was one of the best moments of my life. We sat and talked about all the things you talk about right after you get engaged like who knew, how he came up with the idea, when he got the ring, all that good stuff. I have never seen him so happy and I felt like the luckiest girl in the world! We tried to take some pictures of ourselves but they sure didn't look so good! Then all of a sudden this English family came walking by and they took our picture. It turned out great! Not the best of me but who cares! I will get them on line and post it soon!

We then headed back to the house after being there for an hour! We pulled in and his sister J, my mom and his mom came running outside clapping. I can't get over how thrilled everyone was it was overwhelming and very exciting!

J had come home right when we got there, she was out buying some last minute gifts and then Music Guys mom had forgotten something at the store and asked J to go. Well little did I know she was really going down to the beach to set the whole thing up. Music Guy and her had planned it a few days before. And he had gone down to the beach that morning and marked the spot so she would know where to go. She then texted him when it was ok for us to leave. It was so special because both of his sisters played a part in his master plan!

My mom talked and talked and talked the whole drive down to the Cape and at one point I was like good god woman, shhhhshhh. She was so scared she was going to say something and trip me off to what was going on, so she had to keep her self busy and drive me nuts!

After we got back we cheered with his parents, J and her hubby to be G and my mom. Then it was off to make the calls. It was so neat to tell all the people we love!

We are planning to get married in the Summer of 2008, which is prefect as we are planning it either on the Vineyard or the Cape. The Vineyard would be perfect for us! We have spent a lot of time fishing and being around the Island!

I will post again on all my Christmas goodies, one good one was J gave me a shopping bag FULL of Bridal maggers, I can't wait to dive in!
