So we haven't gotten much planning done...since most of the planning requires having booked a location i.e. set an official date. We did, however, finally get a chance to check out the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens. It's gorgeous! I know we are going to look at other places, but we really like this place.
Within the next few weekends we'll go see a few more...

Kelly and Nick met while attending the University of Arizona in Tucson (Go Wildcats!) Their worlds collided when they both happened to attend a mutual friend's wine and cheese/holiday party (thanks Elisa!), and from there they connected. From graduating, moving to California, and starting new jobs, and working on a house, the two have been together throughout! And now, bam! Getting Married!!!
