The Eye Doc Gets Married

How do you write a love story?  You write about Christine and Alex.  After knowing each other during high school, they began dating the summer after graduation and that is where the story begins.

In August they both went off to KU. They both are about everything KU especially KU basketball.

Cooper, the Beagle is also all about KU

The Christmas of their senior year, Alex gave Christine his grandmother's diamond engagement ring as a promise of things to come.  After 4 years of really hard work and giving up alot of the KU life, they both graduated with a degree in Human Biology (I don't know why they didn't pick Corgi Biology, it would have been more interesting).

This is where the plot thickens,  she went off to the University of Missouri, St Louis for Optometry and he went to University of Missouri, Kansas City for Dentistry.  Thus began the I-70 romance.  They traveled that highway so many times their cars could drive it while they slept.  Just kidding!  During their 3rd year of grad. school, Alex proposed marriage, but first he made a special trip to the home town to ask the father of the intended bride for her hand in marriage.  He is such a good boy.  Of course the dad said yes and then we celebrated with what else, food.  Soon after that, Alex surprised Christine by proposing to her in Campanile (famous bell tower at KU) on bended knee with her favorite flowers, Stargazer lilies and roses while the bells played in the tower.  That was an extra treat because two girls were on there way to the tower to play, so they offered to play while he proposed.  Lucky guy, I'm telling you.  Oh,  the girl said YES!

Good job, Alex!

After 4 years and lots of trips and phone calls they both graduated May of 2011 and then it was all about the wedding and I mean "it was on"!

Here is a run down of how it went:

First there was wedding dress shopping!  There was criteria for the dress of course.  Sweetheart neckline,  lots of fuff (where ever that is, it's not in the Corgi vocab), and most of all the train, because the train is the dress and the dress is the train.  We did the some of the shopping in St Louis.  Here are some of the choices.

Oh the train

Cute butt, almost as cute as a Corgi butt!

Note the dress in the background.  The Flute Chick wants that one.  Are you kidding,  4 grand!

This one almost made the cut.

But, this is "The One"

Guess why it made the cut!

 We had a great time and no one got hurt!
