PERSONAL : I’m ENGAGED – a.k.a. I said yes!

It’s been less than 48 hours. I keep looking down thinking that at any time I’m going to wake up from a dream. But because I often have vivid dreams, I have tricks to wake myself up. And they aren’t working. THIS. IS. REAL.

I have a ring on my finger.

And it’s the most stunning thing I’ve ever seen.

Ever.

I have so many thoughts. So many little things I want to remember. And I can’t wait to relish alongside of my Pattengale Brides more fully as I serve them this year/next. Yes, I PROMISE to share the whole story + photos soon. BUT for now, I’m just savoring being a fiance

That and I’m flying home to Indiana at the moment.

Which also includes a trip to see him in St. Louis in 6 days!

I’m a fan of life.

Always,
–Tara M.

    • Lottie, I can’t begin to tell you just how much your comment made my day. Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing how you found me – amazing!! I’m so glad you’ve been able to "meet" Stephen. He’s such a keeper and I AM over the moon. This past week has been a whirlwind, I just can’t contain myself.

      I’d love to learn more about you! Perhaps connect with me on Instagram if you have an account too? I’m @PattengalePhoto. I’m glad you’re loving the blog – makes all this work worthwhile! Cheers!
