It's official!! Mum and Dad put an announcement in the Yorkshire Evening Post.

The Proposal

One Saturday afternoon, we were sitting on the couch. Steve had tickets to the Celtics game the next day and mentioned he planned to go fishing the next morning. As is customary, he asked me to help him tie cod jig fishing knot things so he was handing me fishing line and I was tying the knots, not really paying attention as 'What Not to Wear' was on (favourite show!). Steve then handed me some fishing line with the knots already tied - at first I was confused by this - until I saw one of the knots had a ring attached! I was completely stunned (I believe the term is 'deer in headlights').
We then went to Bristol, Rhode Island where we spent our 1 yr anniversary. Wonderful!!

I should note that Steve did ask my Dad over Christmas - I know that meant a lot to him (and me too!) Although how my Mum managed to keep her mouth shut, I will never know!

How We Met

We met at the wedding of Scott and Jeannie Simpson. Lyndsay went to grad school with Scott (Go Gators) and Steve had sold ice-cream with him during high school vacations.
We technically met at the 'Out of Towners' Reception during which time, Steve told Lyndsay her political views were completely wrong. He then tried to redeem himself by getting her a drink....but the bar had closed. An interesting start! At the wedding itself, Steve walked Lyndsay to her seat then later asked her to dance. The rest is history!

Thank you for visiting our weblog! We wanted to document this exciting time in our lives and - most importantly - keep our family and friends (especially those across the pond!) up to date with wedding plans!
