Big Decisions

Yesterday Brian and I went to my uncle's house in Ocala for my cousin's First Communion. As a surprise, my mother and grandmother had flown in for this event. I was very happy to see my mom, who I hadn't seen since December. We took this event as an opportunity to tell my grandmother of the engagement. She was very happy to hear it! First grandchild to get engaged has that effect on grandmothers, or so I've learned. The ring I wear right now is from Premier Jewelry Designs. My grandmother has offered to use her wedding set for us us to use. The ring will be sized and given to us soon. It's a wonderful way to express her love and her blessing. Once I have the ring, I will post pictures of it. The other thing that surprised us was the fact that she said it would be better for us to have the wedding here, in Florida. THat's the biggest question that we have to answer. Where will our wedding be? Puerto Rico or Florida? Right now, the possibility of Florida gets bigger and bigger. Personally, I would love to have it here. This is where our friends, our new family, are. My uncle went as far as to offer up his house as the venue. What a wonderful thing! So God willing, my paternal grandparents will make the trip. If they can't make the trip, we will have to discuss the fact that the wedding might just have to be in Puerto Rico. We took another step towards wedding preparations today. We called the Catholic Parish of St. Augustine's to ask about their wedding process. Hopefully we get to have an appointment this week to discuss the steps necessary. Brian has agreed to convert if necessary. He's more than I could ever ask for. More to come soon!
