THE rings...



I guess Kristin & Drew really ARE going to tie the knot. The two of them have left me alone this weekend & headed up to Memphis to buy the wedding rings. Hopefully they had time to stop by the Pottery Barn outlet & pick me up somethings. I SO love that store. And Williams-Sonoma, World Market, the list goes on!

Their big purchases bring back some memories from last year. It was late March of last year that I got the late night phone call from Drew with news of an engagement in the planning. He was so cute... and awkward. When i picked up the phone, I just KNEW what the topic of conversation would be. He was so nervous! I thought it was so very sweet that he wanted to make their engagement so very special to Kristin, and I think it turned out absolutely perfect. To read about their engagement story you can check out their knot page.

What Kristin doesn't remember about the engagement day was Drew's excitement as he got ready to head down to Perdido. He stopped by work to show me the GORGEOUS ring and catch me up-to-date with the plans. He had a picnic packed with champagne, linen, table & chairs, candles... the works. The weather was miserable on his way down, and the traffic was horrible since it was the July 4th weekend. Somehow, though, the skies cleared and he made it in time to set up for a sunset proposal on the beach. Although it wasn't a complete surprise due to my & Gretchen's texting- I think it still took her by surprise. I don't think anyone could ask for a a better proposal.

So- back to the wedding ring purchases. To celebrate one step closer to the wedding, here's some of my favorite pics of the two of them! I bet Kristin doesn't even remember some of these...
