At the cheesecake FactorySo Josh called me at lunch on Friday, and said we should go on a road trip. We ended up going to St. Louis to visit my cousins! It was wonderul! The St. Louis Zoo, Cheesecake Factory, and the Godiva Chocolate store were some of the highlights! :) I love, love, love road trips and traveling with my favorite person in the world!
On our way back from St. Louis we stopped in Branson to visit the Landing. Dinner at gourmet restaurent was delicious and romantic...espeically the fire show that we could view out the window. It was a perfect ending to a perfect trip....I am SO spoiled and blessed by this man!!! :D
Now it's back to wedding planning! First things first....I have GOT to tackle the music for the slideshow and ceremony! Does anyone have recommendations for songs? I'd love to hear them!

Mmm. Cheesecake factory.
One of our local grocery stores carries their cheesecakes. I got so excited when I found those.
All the songs on my profile are either cheesy love songs or just love songs in general. Hopefully that might help you out some. I have over 50 and I am constantly adding to it when I come across new ones.
sounds like you had a wonderful trip :) i love going on trips.. I went to gatlinburg last month and it is so beautiful there and all those cool little shops :) tried some homemade mint chocolate chip fudge at this one little place.. it was heavenly :) i have never been to the cheesecake factory.. i want to go there someday lol
Ok ok first things first......Yay!! You went to my home town!!! I love the zoo and the gardens are fabulous as well. Hope you had a great time. I'm jealous that you were in my home though. (sniff, sniff.)
Ok too many to list on the songs. My top picks are on my other blog "Notes from the Bridal Brain" check it out if you'd like.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Yours is so cute...I'm looking forward to reading more!
It sounds like you had such a fun trip! I love Cheesecake Factory! My husband and I are going to there Saturday night, and I can't wait!
I am obsessed with the cheesecake factory!
I can never have enough of the cheesecake factory. I don't know what kind of music you like, but I'm a sucker for Frank Sinatra. Just the Way You Look Tonight is a great one. And Phil Vasser just came out with a song called Love Is a Beautiful Thing and it's about getting married. Hope this helps some!
I tagged you in a bag tag! :-)
I need to look into songs too. Thats next on my list. I like the song "Sunshine of my life" by Stevie Wonder! Check out my blog for more wedding planning tips! Thanks

I totally "stumbledupon" your blog. Hope that's okay - you two are adorable, though!
Hmm... songs for the slideshow: tehre's a song by Bebo Norman that's PERFECT for wedding slideshows... I love love love it!! It's "A Page Is Turned" and it's a great way to do pics of him growing up, then you growing up, then the two of you together. Give it a listen. It's gorgeous!!
Road trips are so fun! You guys are too adorable. Wow, only 3 months left, that's when things get really hectic. Good luck, enjoy every second, and thanks for inviting us along for the (planning)ride :)
Oh my goodness...SONGS! I love songs! :) Okay, first of all, thanks for stopping by my blog. Second, here are a few song suggestions:
1. "Luckiest" by Ben Folds..check out the lyrics and listen to it..awesome.
2. "Lucky" by Jason Mraz..AWESOME song (I just noticed someone else mentioned this...you GOTTA use this one)
3. "Promise that Remains" or something like that..it's with Justin Timberlake and Reba McEntire
4. "Wonderful Tonight" Eric Clapton..classic wedding song
5. "Here Comes my Girl" Tom Petty..I totally want to use this if I ever get married. :)
Hmmm...now I'm stuck..but anyway, you gotta check these out! :)
Hi! Thank you for the comment and congratulations on your wedding! I like your header too!
Yumm, my fave cheesecake is their Dolce de Leche flavor. I'm swooning just thinking about it.
It sounds like you've got a great man on your hands, congratulations to you two on your engagement :)
Love the cheesecake factory. If I could I would probably marry it, but I do not think that is legal!! Thanks for the following girlie:) And btw I have the pride and prejudice soundtrack, and that song 'top of the world' is my fav!!! I love the love older 'classic' love songs...nat king cole, louis armstrong, ella, bobby darin, andy williams...so on...
Thanks for the bread compliment you left on my blog! Although, I do have to admit it looked a little better than it tasted. =)
Here are some song ideas from our wedding:
Ode to Joy
Moon River
Storybook Love (theme to Princess Bride)
Arrival of the Queen of Sheba
Love you Madly (Cake)
Meant To Be (Squirrel Nut Zippers)
I Will Follow You into the Dark (Death Cab for Cutie)
Thanks for your comment! :)
My vote is for some good ol' Frank Sinatra... 'Cheek to Cheek' or 'The Way You Look Tonight.' Classic.
I just wanted to thank you for stopping by my newbie blog and for becoming my first follower! How cool is that?!? Your blog is lovely. Congrats on your engagement and upcoming wedding. What an exciting time for you!!
~Meg
road trips are great! my man and i are leaving on one in the morning!
your blog is super cute too!
good luck with the music, to decide for my wedding i had our pianist play a whole bunch and then decided...my mom bawled like a baby, it was so cute!
Sounds like you had a lot of fun! Thanks for your comment and entry today. Have a happy V-day!
THANK YOU for the prayers!! :) i will add you to my list, you do the same!
LOVE your blog! ADORABLE! I hope your Valentines day was Full of Love!!
I tagged you on my blog! Check it out!
I'm really surprised that no one mentioned anything by David Gray. "The One I Love" is a beautiful song by him ...it makes my heart smile every time I hear it and it's a very special/personal song for me. I highly recommend it!!
Thanks for stopping by! I have to agree that nothing beats a good homemade cream cheese frosting!
I look forward to reading more as you plan your wedding!
Ah, road trips are the BEST! I seriously cannot remember the last one I took. I love that 2nd picture of the two of you - it's great!
Happy SITS day!
I had to come by since I lived in Paris and read that you guys are planning on having your honeymoon over here! :)
Congratulations to you both!
thanks for stopping by! I love your blog and yay on getting married very soon! the two of you are adorable.
Our wedding slideshow was played immediately after we lit the unity candle, and it was set to "You're My Best Friend" by Queen. We didn't use traditional music, and it helped make the ceremony so much more personal.
