The dress:

For some silly superstitious reason Mouse won't show me or the rest of you the dress. But she has got one, as well as dresses for our bride's maids. Luckily those we can see. They are a dark chocolate brown, and we plan on all the jewelry and accessories being gold to compliment. The flower arrangement are still to be decided on but we disassembled our dining room flowers for the purpose of this. Hopefully that won't be too misleading.

The location:

We found a location, and we've locked in a date. It's this May 17th at Hotel Figueroa: 939 S. Figueroa St. LA CA 90015. We were both awe-struck to find such a romantic location right downtown. And the hotel's owner/manager Uno Thimansson seems very helpful. The dinner, ceremony, and dancing will all take place in the "Rabat" room. Cocktail hour is still yet to be determined but as of now it will either be in the "Nomad Lounge" or "Ricks Place". There's are still plenty of details to work out but finding this place feels like a huge relief so far.

The ring:

Mouse's engagement ring was hand made by local artist, Judy Starkman. We first came across her jewelry in a small boutique on 3rd st. here in Los Angeles. We immediately fell in love with the simple organic elegance of Judy's work. After speaking with her, we knew she was the perfect person to handle our specific ring design. She went above and beyond our expectations and we couldn't be happier.

The proposal:

On bended knee, Thursday, January 30th, 10:30 pm in the garden of The Little Door, Joshua Graham Beveridge proposed marriage to Marnie Noel Alton... she said yes!
