It's Official

Amy and I had been talking marriage for a while now, and decided to make it official during our recent trip to Florida. I asked her to marry me at Silver Springs in Florida on Saturday August 11th, 2007. She said "yes" :)

Here we're standing in the spot where I got down on one knee. It's suppose to be a "lucky palm tree" that's grown with a loop just over the deck we're standing on. It's said that if you have your picture taken in it you'll have five years good luck. Hopefully our luck compounds since we're both in the picture. I'll report back in five to ten years.

We're still talking about what we're going to do for rings. We both wear Claddagh rings which we bought for each other last Summer. We may continue using those, or we might get something else, we're still considering it. The placement and direction of the rings on your hand has different meanings. On the left ring-finger with the heart out means you're engaged.


Right now we're planning on a May or June 2009 wedding date. The extra time is to help Amy concentrate more on graduating from The University of Wisconsin than on planning for a wedding.
