JB:
So time for our second post! There sure is a lot to get done planning for a wedding that is only a couple of months away. This week though we did some pretty fun stuff. Friday night was engagement photos (no, we don't have them yet, and yes, we are planning on posting a couple here when we get them). Who knew that photos could be so exhausting! After two hours of smiling I was pretty much burnt out. I felt a little bad for Sharon (our photographer). Here was JB trying to keep a smile going for the two seconds she needed for each picture, but I was lucky to get even that. I think I need to start doing cheek exercises.

Aimee:
And there were a lot of bugs!! I got 15 mosquito bites between my ankles. Not fun. But it was really fun. We got a lot of fun pictures.

JB:
(I know we're all surprised that Aimee would get fun pictures.)

Aimee:
We got foot-poppin' kiss pictures, we ran through dandelion fluffs, we sat on cool fences and stood by cool bridges. I love having a Great Aunt and Uncle who live on an acreage that's 5 minutes out of town.

JB:
It really is a beautiful place, but then again you will all get to see when we get them up. Then yesterday we went shopping.

Aimee:
Girl topic, girl gets to tell about it! So we went tie shopping. We got ties for JB, his groomsmen, and my Dad. They are awesome!

JB:
Here, take a look:

The three groomsmen are first (we have our ideas about who will get which, but Ryan, Derek and David can feel free to fight about them until they find out), then mine and then Bro. Orr's.

Aimee:
The me and my Mom had a brilliant idea for my bouquet. Why worry about live flowers that need to be watered and babied, just use fake flowers. So we did! It's awesome, and it looks better than any real flowers. Plus it won't wilt. One more thing off the list.

It's got salmon gerberas, yellow something else, string fun things and jewels in it. Its awesome and i love it. JB likes it too, which is good.

JB:
Yep I do! Though I am very glad that I didn't have to try to help put it together. I figured out (again) this weekend how bad I am with this sort of color-coded decorating. Just isn't one of those things that comes to me.

Aimee:
Well its a good thing i am blessed with such gifts. OH, fabric was bought for bridesmaids dresses. I am so excited. They are sunshine yellow and the pattern is a ruffly sun dress. its so cool! And wedding dress shopping is this next weekend so stay tuned!

Aimee:
Hello world! As you may have noticed....JB and I are engaged!!! We have booked the Edmonton Alberta Temple for Saturday September 1, 2012. We are having a blast planning the wedding and we hope you will have a blast sharing this special day with us. Thanks to JB we have created this lovely blog where we will post dates, times, pictures and our over enthusiastic squeals as the day gets closer.

JB:
So there's no way that I am going to let Aimee do all the posting on this thing. It being my idea and all.

Aimee:
Fine, I guess I will have to share, but only becasue it was your idea.

JB:
Shhh, stop interupting. Anyway, I am so glad that you all get to be here with us in this wonderful moment of our lives. Now to keep you coming back we will stop our chatter and post some pictures. Since Aimee's ring has been rather elusive while the wedding band is being made, we thought we would at least give you a look at it. Enjoy!
