Strangely, most of the photos of John and me are us wearing some kind of work out gear - bike helmets, wetsuits, baseball hats. We have very few photos of us together where we are dressed up and look good.

Soon, John and I will be having some professional photos taken (engagement photos) with our photographer, Clint Russell of Renaissance Studios. I am SO excited to be working with Clint, and can't wait to have our e-session in early May. I stumbled on Clint's website quite by accident, and finding him was quite serendipitous after some rather bad photographer luck. Please visit Clint's site - he's a great guy, he takes amazing photos, and I know he'll add a lot of fun and flair to our day! And, hopefully John and I will have a few more photos to add here that don't involve work out wear!

For those of you who don't know him, this is our dog Wilson. Much like Tom Cruise in that awful movie (what was that - show me the money or something?), Wilson completes us.

Wilson was a lost little dog that John and I found one night near Avenue Road and Wilson (hence the name). It was a terribly stormy night in early August, and I saw him running down the street, turning North on Avenue Road and heading toward the on-ramp to the 401. We pulled over...I opened the door and said 'hey, little guy,' and Wilson - happy to see a warm car and friendly faces, ran in the car! We dropped him off at the 24 hour vet clinic on Sheppard, and he was later transferred to Animal Services. Wilson is a pure bred Bichon Frise, and we knew it wouldn't be long until his family picked up their lost pup.

Well, two weeks later Wilson remained in the pound, and during that time John and I decided that this was fate - he came into our lives for a reason and it was up to Carpe Diem - Sieze the Day - and bring him into our lives for good. So, on August 22, 2008, Wilson became part of our family.

Some may say he was lucky, but not a day goes by that John and I don't say 'boy, are we ever lucky!' He's such a great little man...

OK, I'm not wearing a tiara for the wedding, but I happen to have one for some strange reason, and poor Johnny got it placed on his head against his will. I laughed so hard I had to take a photo - I'm sure he'll look for the delete button when he sees I put this on the website! Good thing John has a good sense of humour - he has to if he's marrying me!
