So yeah, Jake asked me to marry him and I said yes.
We were just planning to elope, but apparently, none of our friends would have it.
We have never felt such an outpouring of love in our lives.
One friend is paying for our marriage license, no small cost in San Bernardino county California.
His wife is buying our wedding cake.
Another friend is buying my dress, another donated a lit archway and bouquets/boutineers.
Yet another friend (prof. beautician) and her daughter are doing hair and makeup.
We are having the ceremony outdoors, overlooking our beloved Colorado river.
We work at the resort, so no cost for location.
Our boss (and this surprised the heck out of us) booked a band to play as a wedding gift to us.
Instead of invitations, the resort office will print invites in the resort newsletter (all park residents and guests are invited).

I was dreading the three ring circus, but after feeling all this love, I really cannot wait for November 27 to get here.
I'm giddy, I'm too old for giddy.
Jake is possibly more excited than I am.

Over the river and through the woods...
Congrats Aryln!
You DO have some amazing friends! While there is nothing wrong with eloping, I still think nothing beats sharing your day and your happiness with people that love you. And it sounds like you both have a lot of people that love you. I hope your day is perfect, and make sure to take lots of pics...we want to see too!

Wow!

Doesn't it absolutely blow you away when people unexpectedly do nice things for you?

Reading this made me tear up. You are a lucky girl! Friends like these are priceless.
