strike a pose, part 1

Okay....so I am having a REALLY difficult time picking out my favorite engagement photos (did anyone else have that problem??). I don't want to bombard you with too many, so I'm going to break it up into three posts according to our three different outfits. First up, dressy.

These outfits were actually an afterthought. I was only planning on casual clothes, but the future mister really, really wanted something more formal. Fortunately, I had this great navy blue dress from a wedding I went to last year. Unfortunately, the future mister didn't really have anything appropriate, so we spent the Tuesday before at the mall (45 minutes away) searching for a suitable outfit. And to tell you the truth, as stressed out as I was trying to rush around at the last minute, I'm really glad we went through with it. Because I might like these just a teensy, tiny bit more than our casual photos. (Hopefully the future mister doesn't read this or I might get a big, fat "I told you so!" - ha.)
