C+G Wedding Wednesdays: Save the Date

So, on our four year anniversary (where we ate at the astoundingly delicious Roaring Fork) I was talking to C about how I didn't know what size ring I wore, and that it would be absolutely horrible to get a beautiful engagement ring that I never wore.

Since we were right by Scottsdale Fashion Square, we jetted over there after our dinner and tried some rings on! Or, more precisely, it turns out I am the most common size (6) and could therefore try on practically every ring in the store. Awesome!

After that day, we looked at a bunch of rings online so that he could get an idea of exactly what I was looking for - I have no idea when the proposal's coming but I'm excited! We've set the date:

May 12, 2012 - the six year anniversary of the day we met (it's a Saturday).

We've also been looking at locations online and hope to choose one and put a deposit down this summer. The frontrunners are.

• Desert Botanical Gardens, catering either by Altasta or Creations in Cuisine.


• The Arizona Historical Society Museum, catering most likely by Green Vegetarian, though I am sure there are lots of other options since AHSM doesn't require you to pick a vendor off a specific list.


• Sheraton at Wild Horse Pass, catering by their chef (this place is 10 minutes from the airport, seems to have a decent vegetarian selection, is already a hotel for out of town guests, and is basically attached to a casino).

Feedback? Suggestions? I am thinking that we should go for hors d'oeuvres and an open bar rather than a buffet or a sit down dinner, but we'll see what the vendors say.
