#13 New Client

So far 2012 has been a great year. Just before the new year, I was contacted by a college roommate. She has contacted me about doing her Save the Dates and Wedding invitations. Below is the story of  her and her fiancé in her own words.

It was the summer of 2010, and I had just finished up my second year teaching. Having the whole summer off, I spent it traveling. When I got back to Houston in July, I decided to give online dating a second try. Earlier in the summer, I had tried one dating site and nothing happened. As a teacher, you don't meet a lot of single guys and the bar scene was not my thing. I decided to give Match.com a try. One day, when I was looking at some profiles, I came across Mike's. His profile was different than anybody else's I had read. So, I winked at him. A couple of days later, he emailed. We emailed back and forth a couple of times, and then exchanged numbers. In our first phone conversation, Mike asked me out. Of course, I said yes! But, I offered to cook him dinner instead of going out. He thought that was a great idea, and I went to his house the next night. Basically, I won him over with my cooking! Just kidding! We've been together ever since. Our first date was August 29, 2010. On December 20, 2012, Mike came home from work and I met him in the garage like I always do. He gave me a hug, but one of his hands was in his pocket. Very unusual for him. I was about to ask him why, when he said "I'm glad I'm home. I have an important question to ask you." Then, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said "yes!" and started crying. We are getting married on July 22, 2012 and can't wait!!

She was inspired by the paper goods I made for the Dill/Ellender wedding. The theme of her wedding is Texas meets Louisiana. The bride is from Texas and the groom is from Louisiana. The colors are eggplant and white.

I am looking forward to working with these two.
