What a wonderful weekend for our family with our youngest getting engaged!!! We knew it was coming but didn't know exactly when. We are SO happy & So looking forward to a big wedding celebration!!! Congratulations to Katrhyn & Mike~We love you both~now lets set a date so I can get going planning this baby!!! :)
This was your mother Kathryn when Mike called looking for your father & told me what was going to happen Friday night!
Your dad keeps telling me it's YOU that's getting married & not me so slow down & let you make some decisions without me butting in every two seconds! In case you & Mike are wondering this wonderful venue in Newport is in my top five! Can you see Narragansett bay in the background?
If you're not crazy about the previous photo of the venue in Newport....how about this one? This is my top #1 pick because as you know this mansion was part of the campus where I started highschool. We had all of our dances there & I loved it & would daydream that someday I would have my own wedding there. When the campus closed & the private school moved to another part of the country I had to leave but still dreamt about the mansion. I know you don't like the idea of guest perhaps sitting in different rooms to accomodate the size but..if you change your mind I know we can make it work! It's also on the water~
Anything you like in here?? I have lots of good ideas! I know I'm driving you & Mike crazy but I want this to be all you want it to be & deserve! I'll sit back & be quiet for a bit (but not to long!) I've waited patiently(okay not so patiently) for the day I could help plan my girls weddings! I've already started the wedding folder & it's chock full of stuff already!
For now just enjoy this happy time & let me rant about things.....I'll come down to earth eventually! LOVE YOU~MOM XO
Congratulations Chris,
What wonderful news! Best Wishes to the entire family!

Hi Christine,
I am so excited and totally delighted! Your Kathryn was the cutest, sweetest little girl and now a beautiful, sweet and especially kind young woman. Mike is a lucky guy to have found her and smart to not let her get away. Besides great taste in women he's not bad in the bling department either. The legacy is so sparkly and looks lovely on Kathryn.
XO,
Christine
p.s. nice surprise Lucy pic, now where's the pic of Ricky when he realizes what this is going to cost him!

First let me start by saying congratulations and I'm sure anything you plan will be lovely and appreciated. I found out about you through the Tara Frey book. I also have a daughter but she is only turning 17 next week. I am throwing her a small surprise party and love your Lucy and Ricky surprise pics. We love Lucy so I think I am going to print out the pics and hang them and some others around for decorations and maybe have some Lucy videos to watch as an activity. Thanks for the idea you gave me that you didn't even know you gave me and again congrats. If you get a chance, peek in on my blog at

where I hope to post some
pics next week.

Hey Chris,
It's Wendy from the above comment. Check my blog. I wrote something and put up pics of the surprise party. Didn't watch Lucy videos but did make a picture frame activity called Replace the Face. The kids were supposed to replace the surprise faces of Lucy and Ricky with their own surprise face photo so that my daughter could have a nice and funny memory. They did it on our Mac photo booth. They wound up having fun with the photo booth special affects instead which also created good memories, too.
