Some advice we've been given is to not reveal too much and therefore open your plans up for debate and potential let down, but I'm of the open book variety, always have been. The bride-to-be and I are of a bit different thinking on things, so we have our own compromising (read: convincing) to do. But it'll be fun to get creative and do some things traditionally and others with our own flair and uniqueness. Of course, time, money and the like are great equalizers.

Gia's brother Stephen took some engagement pictures of us on Christmas/Proposal Day and one is posted on previous post. I'm hoping to get the others to share soon. Meanwhile here's one of Gia and my future brother-in-law, Frank.
