Hello and Welcome to Dawn & Dave's Wedding Blog
On this posting we thought we would share how we met, how we got engaged, and what the plans are for the wedding so far.
We met through Eharmony.com. Yes the same Eharmony you see on the commercials with the couples gushing over each other. We aren't quite that bad. I keep asking Dave if I can send our story in and he forbids me to even think about it!!! : - )))
We started dating in January and went to Lisa's (a friend of Dave's who he served in Afghanistan with) wedding in May in Costa Rica. I am not sure if it was the humidity or that love was in the air but we started talking about getting married and pretty much realized on the trip that we found what each of us had been looking for.
Forward to July 6th, Dave and I had tickets to see Phantom of the Opera at the Kennedy Center and decided to make it a special night and stay at the Watergate Hotel. What a beautiful hotel! We had dinner and then saw the play, which we both loved. When the play was over we walked over to the fountains in front of the Kennedy Center where Dave got on one knee and proposed. What did I say first... "Oh my god, right here, right Now!" and then of course a YES! Then called the parents and shared the excitement with them.
Now we are planning the Wedding and the Honeymoon. The wedding will be at my parents house in Fort Ann, New York. It will be Saturday May 3, 2008 at 1 pm. It will be an outdoor ceremony with the reception immediately following. The reception will be in a tent (which will double as the ceremony location in the event of rain) So please put us on your calendars! We can't wait to see all of you!!
I will be posting hotel information shortly. We have reserved banks of rooms at three hotels. Each hotel has an indoor pool and breakfast is included in the room rate.
Please let us know via the comment section on the posting if you have any questions, as I am sure others will have the same questions.
We look forward to seeing you all in May. Mark this site as a favorite and come back and visit in about 2 weeks when we will have the hotel information available.
Love
Dawn & Dave

Dawn and Dave .... what a GREAT idea, to create your own blog!!! Now, if these "old-trying-to-be-modern" relatives can just learn how-to blog ....
The story how you guys met was really neat .... we have often wondered, whilst watching those commercials from e-harmony, if "it" was for real??!! Happily, for you two, it is, huh?
We do have some questions, but will wait to see if our "blog comment" actually survives ....
Hi
You did fabulous with your blog comment.
Yes, it is for real.... you just have to be willing to put yourself out there. It is a "new" way to meet people.
What questions do you have for us.
