I am a single mother of 3. 2 girls (8,4) and a boy (12). I was born and raised in Indy. I enjoy spending time with friends and family. im pretty laid back and have one of those "be my friend" spirits. I like to LOL a lot... and smile. God has been good to me over the years... I have no idea why but He keeps on blessing me. I am eternally grateful to Him for it.

Our Story

My FH and I met on-line (deep sigh...lol) I was actually ready to close down my site because I was meeting some really crazy people. But he had contacted me before and I kind of chatted with him and then he made it a point to recontact me and attempted to get to know me better. We chatted on-line for a while and then I closed my account and although we had exchanged numbers I didn’t call him any more... So literally Faith stepped in. My 3yr old daughter named Faith was playing with my cell phone while I was in the shower and of all the people in my contact list she called Mr. Savage. We chatted and I found that he was planning to go to the army in a few months so we decided to meet in person. We both worked downtown so he met me at a bus stop and from that day on he was there everyday to see me off in the evenings. We started dating and I guess the rest is history...
Another funny side note is that his son and my brother were best friends when they were little. So when I finally took him to my mother's house he said it looked familiar and come to find out he had known my family for years, but we had never officially met... Destiny and Faith seemed to have a lot to do with our hooking up.
 

The Ring

I just have a sweet simple engagement ring right now... I'm letting my actual wedding ring be a surprise. I am looking for him one now... I want it to have a lot of bling! lol Men deserve bling too!

Our Wedding Plans

We plan to hold the ceremony in the Wedding Garden at the zoo. Years ago my children and I (I am/was a single mother of 3) went and we sat in the garden and all decided when we found someone special that that’s where we would marry them. It is simply beautiful. I have decided to go with brown and pink for the colors. There is flower called Stargazer Lilly and that is my main flower and color that I am going with. Not sure of the reception hall yet but I got a few options. The wedding party is about 12 strong (yikes) but they are either family, kids, or close couple buddies. We are doing a high noon wedding and a brunch reception. I am excited about that... that will be different. Im going for a "WOW that was beautiful effect on a "we wanna still live good after this" budget. I think it will truly be amazing!!!

Our Planning Experience

OMG... im just getting started and im having a time already! Everyone is laughing because im starting so early, but the location i want (indianapolis zoo) is already 90% booked. so we are looking to do a "early cermony". Maybe a high noon cermony and a brunch reception. I want things to be different. Not over the top different, just different. So i think that having it earlier in the day and the brunch reception is a step forward. and the setting in the zoo is so pretty. the reception location is going to give me the blues i see because the place i wanted is booked, the zoo is too expensive and the other place im thinking needs too much decorations, the other place is way accross town.... *deep sigh*
