The Emmy's

I thought I'd share a funny and classic moment with you. While David & I were watching the Emmy's last weekend, I was suddenly overwhelmed with emotions. I got this big knot in my throat and then started tearing up. I gazed into his bright eyes with tears streaming down my face and said "Awww, I can't believe I am going to spend the rest of my life with you." It just hit me how lucky I am that I get to be with him forever. Then, we both started laughing.

Once again, the power of television captivated its audience - or at least I enjoyed the Emmy's this year.

My dad would be so proud...

Going to the Chapel and We're Gonna Get Maaaarried...

October 17th, 2009... It's official and has been for some time now that we are getting married in Oxford, OH at Kumler Chapel. It's on Miami Univeristy's campus and is modeled after a church in Normandy, France. In Jess and my heart of hearts we have always wanted it to be here! I made a link to Miami's site but trust me the link is a little weak.

Let There Be... Music!

We're happy to announce that we've located a band. The Paul Otten Band was recognized as a Top 150 Wedding Band by Modern Bride. According to Jess, Modern Bride is a popular wedding magazine... who knew!?! He's a very recognizable face around Miami University as well. He played at about every bar in Miami, not to mention a handful of our fraternity/sorority events. We've heard him enough that we immediately thought of Paul for the wedding.

You can hear some samples from him and you can also check out his entire playlist. Please be sure to make some suggestions here by clicking the COMMENT button under this post! My Dad's already suggested some CCR... I see some James Taylor for all you Tar Heels out there!

Check out the band by clicking on the picture below!



Look out for a post with some pics from the chapel and the reception site coming soon!

The Engagement

The engagement was great. We met downtown at the Chicago Art Institute and walked around the surrounding grounds. We visited a couple of nice sites and Jessica was definitely looking for the ring but after some more walking Jessica began to believe that I didn't have the ring. We finally found a nice quiet spot in Grant Park to make it happen and she was definitely surprised! After making some calls we headed over to Fogo de Chao for dinner and then out with some friends.
