How We Met...
Jason and I met at a Christmas party on December 1st, 2006. We were introduced by mutual friends and instantly hit it off. We had our first date on December 12th and have been inseparable ever since!
The Proposal...
On Friday, December 12th, 2008 Jason and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary. Jason took me to Brenner's on the Bayou (one of our favorite restaurants here in Houston). Before dinner we took a walk around the outside of the restaurant which has a gorgeous pathway that leads around a small waterfall and to a beautiful gazebo decorated with garland and Christmas lights. Jason led me up to the gazebo, got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him! I was so thrilled that I said yes before he even opened the ring box! ;) When we came into the restaurant, they had a bottle of champagne waiting at the table for us and we had an wonderful dinner. Little did I know, the night was far from over! After dinner, we went to Sonoma, my favorite wine bar. Jason led me to the private party room in the back and when we walked through the door, I was greeted with the surprise of my life. Both of our families and a huge group of our friends were there waiting! I couldn't believe how many people were there to celebrate with us! Everyone was so excited to hear the story of how Jason proposed, see the ring, and take tons of pictures.
The Blog...
The night that Jason proposed began a whirlwind of fun and exciting activities. Parties, celebrations, planning our wedding and our new life together. Although Jason proposed on December 12th, he wanted to wait until after Christmas to officially begin planning the wedding... we all know that was impossible for me to do! My mom and I immediately dove headfirst into all of the wedding details and planning. Now that Christmas has passed, Jason is on board as well and we have had a ton of fun looking at venues, meeting with photographers and caterers and going to tastings. I decided to write this blog as a way to keep everyone "in the loop" with all of the wedding planning and as diary or journal to look back on from the year that Jason and I were engaged. I am so lucky to have found such an amazing person to share the rest of my life with and I can't wait to be the "Future Mrs. Baker"! :)
