A Step Closer...

I tried on wedding gowns on Saturday, it was quite fun! I've decided on a specific style of dress and can't wait until it's time to buy!

Please keep us in your prayers...

Thank you for visiting our website! Please keep us in your prayers during the upcoming months as we are preparing to venture into a whole new life together. There is so much that goes into the planning of a wedding and things may get very stressful at times. Please pray that we will not get wrapped up so far in the planning process that we forget to prepare mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for the new phase in both of our lives. Thank you very much for your prayers and support!

Will and Irene

When and Where

We will be getting married on January 3, 2009 at Central Baptist Church in Spokane, Washington. We are not completely certain of the exact time yet, but will keep you posted. Directions and a map to the church will be provided as the time gets nearer.

We will be moving to Roanoke, Virginia after the wedding and there will be a reception in Roanoke for those who live on the east coast. Date, time, and location will be announced later.

Engagement Photos

We're Engaged!

Will came to Spokane to visit me from December 27, 2007 to January 8, 2008. During the visit he was able to meet my family and friends and we were able to spend some quality time together. We decided to go on a date on January 5th, one which Will had pretty much planned out himself based off of what I had been wanting to do with him ever since he came to Spokane. We went for a lovely ride in the gondolas over the Spokane Falls, then we walked through Riverfront Park and went ice skating! It was quite a blast and despite the fact that it was Will's first time, he didn't fall once! After ice skating, we made our way through downtown and ended up at Rocky Rococo's restaurant. It was a yummy pizzaria. Next we went on a walk through the park and went to a very lovely, romantic spot. It was a penninsula with the river flowing on either side with a beautiful view of Riverfront Park and downtown. Shortly after reaching our romantic spot, Will started getting extra-mushy and he finally said, "I have something for you," while reaching into his pocket. He then pulled out a ring box and opened it while getting down on one knee and asked me to marry him! Of course I said yes and we became officially engaged!
Our next step was to make a few phone calls to the people living on the east coast before they went to sleep, then we warmed ourselves with mochas and hot chocolate in front of a fire at a lovely coffee house.

It was without a doubt the most perfect engagement I could have ever imagined! Both Will and I are very excited to begin the next phase of our lives and can't wait until that special day when we say our vows in front of God and our loved ones. Please join us in this special occassion! The big day is January 3, 2009 in Spokane, Washington. All the details will be on this site so please feel free to navigate through the pages.
