Virtual Candlelight!
 

So I have been informed of some great news from one of our sisters! So I thought we should do a candlelight for her...GC style!

I have found my dream man, he's sweet as he can be
I have found the one I love, he's all the world to me...

Who wants to hold the candle next? :)

Ooh ooh Laura! Can I hold it next? (Since I know who it is for!).

He wears the golden anchor
And the Bronze, the Pink, and Blue....

(Smiling a big smile and very excited for this person:D )

cj did you get engaged? :p i have no idea what song yall are singing. soo...

delta gamma we'll always be true, pledging love and loyality to you, strong in friendship, spirt too, hail two colors; pink and blue. Though in time w/ some we must depart, we will keep their memories in our hearts, knowing that we're always friends, sisters to the end...

nope its STILL not my candel lighting, pass...

You don't know the words to "Dream Girl??" :eek: Oh honey, bless your heart.
Ladies, please join me in 3-part harmony:

Dream Girl
I have found my dream girl
She's as sweet as she can be
I have found the one I love
She's all the world to me
She wears the golden anchor
And the bronze, the pink, the blue
Delta Gamma, I love you
And to you I will be true.

College memories linger
Never fade nor disappear
Anchored till eternity
With lasting love so dear
Wherever I may wander
All my thoughts will turn to thee
Delta Gamma, my dream girl,
And to you I will be true.

When we did candlelights in my chapter, we always used:

I have found my dream man
He's sweet as he can be
I have found the one I love
He's all the world to me
His pin is by my anchor
The bronze, the pink, the blue
Delta Gam I love you
And to you I will be true :)

We basically did what you did to the "Dream Girl" song with our candle passes, Laura, except we used the lines that I used above.

I guess it goes to show that despite all being sisters, our each individual chapters have their own identities.

But let's continue the candle passing...because it's still not for me.

Well, I wasn't very good about keeping it a secret, but it's ME!!

Since I teach at a year round school, I'm just wrapping up my 2 week break between quarters. Chris and I decided to take a week of the break to go to Maine on vacation!

Well, on Monday, at sunrise overlooking Boothbay Harbor, Chris asked if I would be his wife!! I, of course, said yes! I'm soooo excited. We don't have an exact date yet, but we are shooting for next October (we **LOVE** fall). Once we find the location we want, we'll pick the exact date.

He are a few pictures from our vacation!


Sooo...that was more pictures than I expected, but I'm super excited!!

Oh, but school starts back tomorrow! Boooo!

I know I already told you this, but I am SO EXCITED for you!!! :D

Congratulations!

Sorry to crash, but NICE Bling! The man has got taste! Congrats sweetie

Congrats CJ! And I agree with Jill, great ring.

CJ-

Congrats and best wishes!

mini-hijack: I sang "Dream Girl" last weekend with 12 Delta Gamma alumnae from Colorado College who were back celebrating their 50th class reunion! That has become one of my favorite DG memories! :)

YAY CJ!!! I know I've told you about ten-thousand times now....but YAY!!! I'm so excited for you and Chris, I can hardly contain myself! :D

best wishes! keep us updated on your wedding plans!

aWW...CJ! I am so happy for you! :)

I don't think it's tacky at all... Since it WAS a virtual pass, normally you'd have everyone around you rushing you to see the ring. :-)

Just kidding

Hahaha! WELL...we are re-thinking things...since I'm moving to Maryland in June, we are thinking about going ahead and having a June wedding before I move! I'll know by tomorrow! I'll let ya'll know! haha

Haha June 16th!! For real this time!! Most of you know my general family history, so you'll know why this is extra special for my, but I'll be getting married on what would have been my parent's 35th wedding anniversary. :D

Congratulations again, CJ!!!

I am really happy for you. May all of your dreams come true!!

LITB,
Katie

Just so ya'll know...I HAVE A WEDDING DRESS HANGING IN MY CLOSET!!

EEEEEeeee! It makes me so excited!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Sorry to hijack ....CONGRATS!

Anywhere on the New England coast is amazing in the fall for weddings. Depending on how early in the season, you obviously know the choices in Maine. Moving further down the coast, Nantucket & Martha's Vineyard are great until beginning of October. A little chilly, lots of color, and just fabulous! You can really take advantage of the season to organize your wedding pallate (sp).

Congratulations! :) I loooove wedding planning...I would be a wedding planner if I lived in a big enough city to make a career out of it! So make sure to update all your plans as you make them. Do you have a personal site on theknot.com? You should make one! And let us know where you're registered too just in case anyone is feeling generous...hehe.

We've gotten a lot done...we have: a dress, a chapel, a reception site, a strings ensemble for the ceremony, vows/script written, photographer, videographer, DJ, food services (the reception site does the food...haven't narrowed down the menu yet), save the date cards (already went out - since it's a summer wedding), invitations ordered, shoes ordered (for me), officiant found (my uncle!), hotel block reserved (waiting to hear if the hotel got our contract), and honeymoon booked!

Wow! Things left: Order bridesmaid dresses, tuxes for the guys, ordering the cake (I think I found my bakery though), finalizing musical selections, um...and I'm sure I'm forgetting other stuff...I have to look at my checklists! haha

AND I told my principals today that I am moving to Maryland for sure! We have to turn in intent forms letting them know what we are planning to do next year, and we all knew it was coming...but it's actually official now! :( I *LOVE* my school and am sad about having to leave.

Now it's BEDTIME!

I just saw this thread (thanks for letting me visit, DGs), and I just had to offer my congratulations. I will never forget your rush thread, so I feel like I "know" you! Anyway...I just wanted to say that my husband and I had our honeymoon in Maine. We loved Boothbay, Arcadia, etc. Isn't it a romantic place????

Enjoy the planning!
:)

Me too...I am thrilled for our lil' DG girl! :D

And it just seems like yesterday, you were contemplating the new DG colony and if you would be joining us in DG!.... :)

Stop on by anytime, LouisaMay!! I followed your AI story (I found it to be incredibly inspiring and wonderfully written!) so I feel like I know you! LOL GC...making this world seem a little bit smaller!

But back to CJ...:D
