Here's their story! Look how cute they are! Congrats you two!!!
My wonderful fiancé Billy really surprised me and put a lot of thought into the proposal.
Billy had been traveling a lot and wanted to get away for the weekend, just the two of us. He rented a cabin in Brown County. Friday night we planned to stay in and enjoy the hot tub. He made me dinner, grilled shrimp and steak kabobs. It was delicious! He knows I love desert so he told me he was making me a surprise desert but didn’t want me to watch. The living room and kitchen was one big open space so he had me sit in a chair where my back was to the kitchen. He told me that while he had been traveling he made me a crossword puzzle to show me how much he loves me and misses me. So he told me to work on the crossword while he made desert. The crossword was clues like our first date, favorite restaurant, etc. I got to the last clue but couldn’t guess it. It was a really long word and the clue was “Rejan’s favorite surprise from Billy”. Nothing I guessed fit into the boxes. So he started spelling it for me…..W-I-L-L-Y-O-U-M……I was so excited. I knew what it was. He walked to me with a tray covered in rose petals, 2 roses, a candle, a picture of us and the ring and got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. I was ecstatic and said yes and starting jumping around. We spent the rest of the weekend there enjoying each other and talking about our wedding. It was the best weekend of my life!

Art of the Table 2009



Art of the Table 2009 was an event you did not want to miss. Whether you are planning a wedding, a party or a dinner this affair at the Indianapolis Museum of Art was the perfect way to discover new ideas and trends by Indiana's best bridal consultants and designers. I decided to do a bridal luncheon or bachelorette themed table. The name of my linens was "Warhol Roses". I thought this was a perfect way to incorporate the art theme of the IMA and a lot of creativity and fun. From the linens and Warhol I came up with Marilyn Monroe, Mick Jagger, Audrey Hepburn and more. Next I decided with all of these characters involved it would definitely be a wild party. This is where my theme (thanks, Marilyn) "A Party to Make Your Skirt Fly!" developed. Thanks to Angie and Janet from Bokay Florist,www.bokayindy.com 54Th and College, for the great floral design and Jen from CardInk www.cardink.net for the wonderful job on the invitations and table stationery. I couldn't have pulled it off without you and your many talents!
Make sure to attend Art of the Table next year. With over 28 designs and infinite creativity you definitely will leave inspired!
