Mrs & Mrs Eggers

We got MARRIED!!! YAY!!!

It was the perfect day, perfect weather and everything was....you guessed it, PERFECT!

Here are some pictures!

What a wonderful getaway!

We took our last summer vacation to the shores of Lake Michigan. This time we stayed in Algoma, WI. It was a long drive for sure, and because of our required frequent stops (we drink a lot of water) it was made even longer. The lesson we learned—keep it under 5hrs. I have a very low tolerance for long drives. Ivy Rose did amazing on both the trip there and back. She absolutely loves beach vacations!

We stayed in a big lake front home, easy to find and close to most things. We didn’t like the many rules, as this was our first time booking a vacation home through a real estate company, nor did we like the very little charm the home had to offer. But lessons learned and notes made—we will remember these points when making next year’s reservations.

We love to travel so each vacation inspires the next!

We do have one more vacation coming up this year—two if you count our honeymoon night away.

We get to stay overnight in Story, Indiana. We will be in the room about the Mill. Cute, romantic and charming! The next vacation is a weekend get a way to Chicago. I am looking forward to the boat tours, comedy shows and good food—maybe we will get lucky and get some snow to fall while we are in the city!

It does our heart, soul and spirit good to travel, get away and have a change of scenery!

Getting married in a state where it is illegal

As we announce our wedding to our family and friends we are getting the “Is it legal” question. Now—the way I am taking this question may not be what is intended but it makes me feel they are saying because it is not legal in the state of Indiana for two of the same sex to marry then my celebration is less important. Technically a marriage is just a piece of paper you get at your local court house—the wedding is the celebration after. The Wedding Ceremony is a ceremony of love, the love between two people, and the guest are there to show their love and support for the couple. The only thing different about our wedding and others is a piece of paper. Our Love is just as strong, if not stronger; our Commitment to each other is just as meaningful. We share the same last name, we sleep in the same bed, we love each other more than words can express. We are Mrs. & Mrs. Eggers—deal with it! No laws and certainly no person is going to tell me what I can’t have, can’t do, can’t love. Those who think they can really don’t know me! I find a way. Redneck Republicans don’t scare me! (Ha!)

This is going to be a happy day for us; it’s going to be perfect and wonderful. I will never let the negative Nancy’s rain on our wedding!

A Few More Pieces to go before the Wedding Puzzle is complete

We will be shopping for me a dress this Saturday! Once we have the dress then we can get Duste’s suite Vest and pants. Once our outfits are complete we can get our flowers, let the cake lady know our colors and order our love bird topper! All the pieces are coming together nicely!


First comes Love, then comes Marriage, then comes......

Engagement Pictures—

 We met with our photographer, Tina Ott, in Story on a perfect Wednesday evening to have our engagement pictures taken. I had my hair and makeup done by Christina Rice and did Duste’s hair and makeup myself. We picked the perfect outfits a few days before, something simple in a creamy off white. We had props and the wonderfully beautiful back drop of the property around the Inn. The entire experience was perfect and the pictures show it! Within a few hours Tina had the disk ready, working late into the night as she was as excited as we were. We designed Announcement, Save the Date cards and Wedding Invites, plus got copies of all our favorites and a few for the moms. Tina even threw in a Free 8x10, pose of our choice! I am so excited!  The getting married experience is so exciting and fun so far!

I’m getting married!!

Yup- you read that right! I am marring my soul mate, the most wonderful supportive, loving, perfect, made just for me woman! We are tying the knot on Sunday, October 13^th 2013.  I have to be honest and say we have been planning this since the end of 2012. We picked the perfect spot—Story, Indiana at the Mill, the perfect season—fall with all the beautiful colors, the perfect cake, the perfect ceremony and we are going to have a DJ! Music is such a big part of who we are and we look forward to expressing our love through songs at our wedding/reception! It’s going to be a simple ceremony, short and sweet with finger snacks, refreshments and our beautiful cake. We are only inviting 25 people to keep the setting intimate.  I look forward to marring my perfect soul mate and sharing a last name with her!
