Featured Couple: Madeline & Christian

I would like you to meet Madeline and Christian.  If you are not already in sugar-shock from how adorable they are, just wait!  You will be...

Madeline and Christian have so graciously agreed to invite you along with us as we plan their wedding, which is scheduled for March 2011.  I love how so many blogs show you the wedding day and the end results of the planning, but we thought it might be fun for you to get to see the process all the way through and get to know Madeline and Christian along the way.

Mattie and Christian have a really amazing story.  They have actually known each other since they were babies!  We asked them if they would mind sharing their story in their own words... So read on:

"Christian and I have known each other our entire lives, we played together when we were babies.  He was born here in Arizona and even after he and his parents moved back to Minnesota, our families stayed close through lots of Christian's family visits to the valley.

Even though we have known each other our whole lives, our love story really began when Christian's family came to Arizona on vacation in 2004.  I saw some things in Christian that I really admired.  There wasn't much contact between our two families after that trip, but Christian was often on my mind.  I did however write letters back and forth with Christian's sister occasionally, and after secretly reading many of those letters Christian realized in the summer of 2007 that he was absolutely head-over-heels for me!!!

We connected through Facebook in early 2008, started dating the next year, and on March 12, 2010, after asking for my Father's permission, he proposed by candlelight at my home, which he knew was my favorite place in the world!

We are so madly in love and cannot wait to be married this coming March, so we can share our first kiss and spend the rest of our lives together!!"

 

So, there you have it.  Are they cute or what?  Please keep checking back as we update you on the planning progress. 

First on the agenda:  VENUE SELECTION!  Stay tuned...
