Its all about the dress...

A lot of things happened this weekend, Michelle and I felt a little like we were in a pinball machine but it was very much worth getting to see family, friends and for her to make a little holiday cash by working on Sunday.

So Michelle picked her dress out last week, I hear its white and that it looks super good on her :). I am such a lucky man to be marrying her and I can not wait to see that woman walking down the aisle.

The bridesmaid's dresses were picked! So many thanks to Jessica and Cory for their input and help with decision making. This picture is of Cory modelling the first dress for us that they chose. We couldn't have this one, David's Bridal apparently doesn't carry it any more (we didn't want it anyways..) but we found one just like it at Alfred Angelo's. HA! We finally make a decision and they tell you that they don't carry it anymore even though it is on the racks. Weddings will make you crazy!

We finished moving Caleb and Reagan in last weekend into their new house in Grand Prairie, it is so surreal to think that they own such a beautiful home. I am a proud brother. Caleb is so handy; he has already fixed the water heater, put in new appliances (fridge, overhead microwave), repaired several leaks in the sprinklers and numerous smaller projects. And Reagan is such a sweet heart to go into a "fixer upper", I am crossing my fingers that Michelle will be so patient with our first home (I get really excited thinking about sharing a home with her).

This weekend we went on a triple date with my old roommates, Josh and Autumn Lockett and Caleb and Reagan. We have missed them so much since they left us for Law School at OU. The evening started with a little Uncle Julio's in Uptown and then we went to have a drink at Caleb's new house and relax a little. That couple just makes my heart warm with memories.

Also this weekend we attended the church we plan on having the wedding at, Capstone Church in Benbrook. Before we booked them for sure we just wanted to attend at least one service and make certain they don't practice voodoo or sacrifice small animals on the same stage I want to exchange vows on. But is does turn out that this church loves the Lord, it was a good change of pace for both Michelle and I to see a proper charismatic church again. We might have even found a little Holy Ghost :). So things are coming into order. We have a church for sure, a reception cite, Michelle's dress as well as the brides maids and I went to Men's Wearhouse Saturday and I picked out the Tuxes also. Now, we only have about 4,092,982,872 more things to consider and October 16th will be here!

Here are a couple of the pics from the Memorial day party at the Alvarado's.

Love.

Monica giving a little peace and joy.

Sorry this webisode is sideways, give us a break, it's our first one!

And pre-appologies for being shirtless (water is involved), rated PG.

We will try hard to make a video each weekend, thanks for watching friends.

God Speed

In the begining...

In the beginning she said YES!:
"Yes I will go on a date with you!"
"Yes I will go on a second date with you!"
"Yes, of course I will marry you!"

Between Cameron "the go-getter" and Michelle "the indecisive thinker" we thought it would be fun to start a blog together and share our life and wedding planning mayhem with all of you. It has been hard to catch up and contact everyone (as we would like to) and fill you in on new and exciting wedding details, so now you can come to our blog. We are so excited to start this planning process. It will be a journey for sure, because lets face it...planning hasn't been a thing that either of us have excelled at, so now we learn together, which could get us in double trouble.

We named our blog "this might seem random", as this was how our relationship started, randomly. Or was it? We don't really think it was all that random anymore. But we have to admit that if you were to trace our relationship from the time we first met until now, we would seem to be a pretty random pairing. For those of you that don't know, Cameron and Michelle met at A&M-Commerce our sophomore year when we had a class together. We became good acquaintances during the year and a half we went to school together, but no lasting friendship seemed to arise from us. We exchanged a few (and random) facebook messages over the remaining years but nothing significant. That is until Michelle's 24th birthday when this facebook message popped up in her inbox:

It's fun to go back and re-read some of our pre-dating messages to each other. It reminds us that even the most simple or random event that occurs may circle itself into your life at a latter time. We find this mysterious yet exciting. This is just one beauty of life. Come join us in experiencing some of our life's random moments.
