Crate and Barrel's Ultimate Wedding Contest

Our love story.

Strolling to class every day in beautiful Charlottesville, VA where we both attended the University of Virginia, we must have crossed paths a million times. Walking down the historic University lawn, attending football games, or in the class that we sat just a few seats apart in--somehow we never met. Several years later, after a fated Facebook message and a first date in DC, we became inseparable. After plunging from the skies over the North Shore of Oahu this summer, an amazing year later, we're ready to take the ultimate plunge and spend the rest of our lives together!

Three important details about our Ultimate Wedding.

The place: Beautiful historic Charlottesville, VA (a place that since meeting each other, we have made many memories together- football games, basketball games, wine-tasting, and finally our engagement!) The date: December 31, 2010 (What better way to ring in the new year than by ringing in our new life together with family and friends! Plus it's an anniversary date that Ross will never forget!) The rest is simple: Friends, family, love and memories--all the ingredients we need to celebrate our new life together!

Our everyday dream day.

Since we've spent the last year driving up and down I-95 between Richmond, VA and Washington, DC in rush hour traffic to spend weekends together, we are looking forward to "typical days" more than most couples. Most of all, we're looking forward to evening jogs together, learning new recipes together, sharing welcome-home kisses, and curling up on the couch enjoying our favorite TV shows. But judging by the fact that we dove out of an airplane at 14,000 ft after 6 months together, we're pretty sure our life will be anything but "typical".
