The Date is Set

We finally went to the calendar last night and decided to go with October 13th, 2006 (Sorry all that had visited and I got your hopes up that it was in 2005 but its not). Yes you heard us right Friday the 13th! That way we have a whole year to plan and we will have a beautiful fall wedding. We will keep you posted.

Engagement

Yesterday evening the 25th of August Bill proposed to Jessica. He made a great dinner starting with fresh lox, then for the main course cornish game hens stuffed with garlic, green beans with spicy pumpkins seeds and super creamy mashed potato. For desert he served Jessica a purple package and got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.

1 year anniversary

Saturday was our one year anniversary so we decided to go have fondue downtown. We had reservations for 8:30 but decided to get all dressed up and do happy hour before hand since neither of us spend much time downtown anymore. It was a beautiful evening we had mussels and wine at Zelo's and then headed off to the Local. We had to celibrate with a Guiness in an Irish pub since this is where the whole thing started 1 year ago.

It was finally time for dinner and boy were we excited. We decided to go with the sea food and it was a great choice. We had great service that made the evening absolutely wonderful.

This is the story of Bill and Jess

Ok, right now it is only Jess' story, because Bill doesn't know that I am writing this, but alas I am. This blog will document from here on out our journey to become Mr. & Mrs. William Joseph Mahoney III. The engagement is becoming closer, the ring is in the making, his parents have heard the news and just last evening he asked the brides father for the thumbs up.

I am sure that my father said "yes, please, take her"! I think he has been waiting for this moment longer then I have.
