Re: Joiesmom's Compromise Congrats Sign up

Labs are my favorite. There's an adorable black lab puppy at the ASPCA shelter nearby. You name her, dearest Jasper.
As for how you proposed, that was on our first anniversary. I knew you were the man I wanted to spend my life with, and I had thought about bringing up the subject of marriage, but for the first time in my life I was too shy (were my friends shocked at that!) On our annniversary you took me to the operea to see La Boheme, my favorite, and then afterwards you danced me along the reflectign pool infront of the capitol in the moonlight, singing the love aria in my ear (you told me later it took you two weeks to learn it). Then we had a moonlight picnic along the pool, and when we were exchanging gifts afterwards one of mine was the most beautiful diamond ring! You dropped down to one knee beside me, and asked me to marry you, and of course I said yes. It was without doubt the most romantic evening of my life.

I was so nervous that night, but then you said yes, and it became the best night of my life.
Hmmm... what to name our adorable new addition... Well, she's a bouncy, enthusiastic little thing, and cheeky to the point of absolute comedy - how about Jester? Jess for short. Or we could always draw inspiration from our shared passion and go with Cleopatra... what do you think Lily? Jester nn Jess, or Cleopatra nn Cleo?

Considering her personality, I think Jester nn Jess fits best!
It was absolutely beautiful. We had the wedding in late May, on a perfect sunny day. We rented a house on the beach for the day, and had the wedding at sunset. We spent the day locked away in different rooms so we wouldn't see one another, getting ready and greeting all the guests who came in. My sister Danielle was my maid of honor, and my best friend Nicole and your sister Ellie were my bridesmaids. Will was your best man, and you graciously allowed Caleb to be a groomsman along with Rett. A family friend of mine, Lise, helped arrange decorations and flowers, and it all looked so beautiful. All of our friends and family were there to share that happiest day of our lives with us. After the wedding, we held the reception on the front lawn of the house. we had a dance floor set up, and we danced away until midnight. Our bridesmaids and groomsmen had a surprise for us for our going-away car--not only the usual toilet-paper-and-shoes treatment, but they had exchanged our car with a Ferrari they had rented for the night! It was a great touch to what was the happiest day of my life.
Now, Jasper my love, you were telling me about a house you had found for us? Where is it, and what's it like?

I loved that Ferrari... Love, one day we are buying one of those!
Hun, you are going to adore the house, here is a picture of it:
Isn't it just perfect for our first home? It's 4 bedroom as well, so plenty of room for us to start a family.
