Our Engagement Photography

I carefully placed two of my favorite vinyls in this picture. Our faces sum up our relationship where musicals are concerned. I'm obsessed and he puts up with my excitement. :)

Reading and relaxing. Sidebar: the book we're reading is a copy of literary theory discussing Shakespeare, published in the '30s. Kenton gave it to me as a gift on our first Christmas together.

I love this one. We're looking toward our future (notice the symbolic fork-in-the-road ahead!) and I'm clearly enjoying the journey.

Being a bit silly. 

Finally a man has come between me and my books. 

This sums up the playfulness our relationship entails. He keeps me laughing continually. I cannot wait to marry my best friend.

Vinyl: Carole King's Tapestry (one of my all-time favorites, and Kenton actually likes it too)
Books: A medley of vintage literature collected from antique shops. (Including several Shakespeare volumes and Dante's Divine Comedy)
Jean throw: A blanket my grandmother made for my parents when they married. She made it from old pairs of jeans! I love the fact that it was given to my parents on the eve of their marriage and their marriage is an inspiration to me.

Sneak-attack-kisses are the best kind.

This one is very "down on the farm" but I love its vintage feel.

Sheer bliss.

He's leading me. I love having such a strong leader as my future husband.

Have you guessed yet that the vibe for the wedding is vintage?

Cheesy faces!

I love the overgrown grass.

He loves me.

Note the Bob Dylan-Blood on the Tracks album and my grandmother's fabulous jean throw.

What he does when I'm reading.

"Let us delight ourselves with love." Proverbs 7:18

In 65 days we will be: Mr. and Mrs. Kenton Van Tassel.
