The Aisle File Engagement Gift Idea

Here is my quick & easy engagement gift

"The Aisle File"

The file allows them to keep all of the wedding things in one place. Notes, lists, contracts, invoices, contact info etc.

Supplies that I chose:

Last Name initial letter of the newly engaged couple (Hobby Lobby)

A bridal magazine {this one came with a bonus honeymoon guide} (Target)

Notebook & Pens to start the lists and planning (Target)

2 mini bottles of Korbel Champagne (Liquor Store)

One magazine file box (Target)

Select Your Tissue Colors {these are what I had on hand}

One for the Bride & one for the Groom

Choose a font you like, print and cut it out. That simple!

I made this tag in PowerPoint. I drew a rectangle and filled it with this picture. Added text to say "Congratulations On Finding your Perfect Match!" Tied it with some string I had and ta-da!

The "H" wouldn't fit in the box, so I left it out to the side.

This is a super easy and DIY gift idea that any bride-to-be will appreciate!

Happy Anniversary!

May 17, 2004 is when it all started. I can see us now, standing in his apartment parking lot, leaning against my car, he's nervous. {Before I say this next line, may I remind you that we I was still in high school. Youngins I tell ya!} He's standing there looking at me... "Will you be my girl?"

OMG he just asked me out! {YAY my heart yelled!}

Oooh, to be young again! No worries, no responsibilities, the goal was just to have fun!

9 years later we are still going strong! Don't get me wrong, we've had our UPs and DOWNs, no doubt. The fact that we WANT to work through it because we know we don't want to live without each other...that's what it's about. The partnership. The love. The friendship. The growth.

When something really amazing and important happens in your life...who do you call first? Just think about it or pay attention next time.

Here are some pictures of our journey together! {I will try to keep it short}

Apparently my FB pictures don't start till 2006, so this is where my timeline will start....
