I said "Yes" or something like that

Jon and I were engaged in May. He popped the question at our favorite dueling piano bar, Gangster's. I know, "Mommy, where did Daddy propose to you?" "Why, Gangster's, honey." So not the best named spot, but still one of our favorites. We stumbled upon it one night after dinner, and it was by far one of our most memorable dates.
That night he made sure my family and our friends were there. I had an inkling it might be that night, but it kept getting later and the tab larger. Eventually, one of the singers called for Jon to get on stage. Jon requested I accompany him. And that is when the tears started gushing. I don't remember much after that. My memory does not function when the adrenaline kicks in (the reason why we are hiring a videographer). But of course I said yes, or something along those lines. Side note: Jon remembers some guy in the background yelling, "No F-ing way." Just another fun tidbit in our journey.

Since May, I have been busy planning. I work full time and attend school part time, so I squeeze wedding plans in between. I will finally graduate in March with my accounting degree, which will open up the schedule for more planning. I am having a blast and look forward to sharing my experiences with you. Hope you enjoy the ride!
