270 Days until the B-I-G day!

Exactly 129 days ago Brent asked me to marry him. Since then I have been in a whirlwind of plans...and now we have 9 more months until I am officially a Boersma, or a Lamade-Boersma (I have not decided yet). :)

I figured, since I only get to do this whole wedding planning once, Lord willing, I should start documenting the journey. Although it has been over 4 months since getting engaged, I still feel like I am in the beginning stages of the process. In August, after many sleepless nights, Brent and I (and my parents) decided that we would have the wedding be in Holland, MI. And more importantly, that we would have the ceremony at Dimnent Chapel. Although it would have been nice to get married in my home town, Brent and I decided to get married in a setting that is special to BOTH of us. Since we switched churches when I was in high school, I do not have a deep connection to Wheaton Bible, and it will be nice to look back at my pictures, and remember all the great memories we created while at Hope College.


After deciding that we would get married in the beautiful Dimnent Chapel, we quickly reserved Grand Haven Golf Course for the reception. Not only do they have decent rates, but the room for receptions is a perfect size, and the golf course is beautiful. They are even going to let us take out the golf carts to take fun pictures on the course. I have also heard that the food at GHGC is wonderful, and is prepared by local students at a culinary arts school (so they HAVE to do a good job, to get a good grade). :) Should be a lot of fun!


Here is a pic of the room...Stacy (bride in the pic - Brent's sister-in-law's Sister...ha ha mouth full) is letting me borrow the fabric hanging from the ceiling! Woot woot...how nice of her!!!

So...first step done...99 more to go! :)
