| Right before he proposed |
Anthony...or "T", and I have been together now for 7 years. I think an engagement was LONG overdue HAHA. So The day after one of his good friend's wedding, in BEAUTIFUL Panama City Beach, Florida, in September, at SUNSET he proposed! :)
I can honestly say I had no clue it was coming. But the way he did it was absolutely magical. HOWEVER,I think because I'm from dry Lil El Paso,Texas and we were surrounded by sunsets, oceans,crashing waves and clean air that I was SO into everything around us to notice what he was "trying" to do. That was until he got on his knee.
That's when I became tongue tied, mute, I WAS IN SHOCK. I've always thought when it happened, I'd shout out YES from the top of my lungs, like they do in the movies, but I'm pretty sure my face just got contorted and tears ran down my cheek, that he wasn't sure what I was feeling, not a sound came out of my mouth. SO, not what I'd picture I'd do, haha.
| My beautiful engagement ring!!! |
Its been about 5 months that we're engaged and FINALLY we are beginning to plan. I would have done it earlier, but this is my first year teaching and it has been beyond stressful...but the fun shall begin!!!
We have now set a date, June 23, 2012 (to allow ourselves some time to save for the wedding of our...my dreams ;0).) and have booked the venue at the beautiful Grace Garden, in El Paso. We will be married on Pond Island and dance the night away in the Tent Pavilion. As far as I can remember I've always, ALWAYS wanted an outdoor wedding, and now...its all I can think about :)
Before I carry on and on about how I can't wait,the reason I started this blog was to keep myself on track and stress free. Its like an outlet for me. I'm also going to use this blog to update family and HOPEFULLY get some ideas and insight from others. I'm hoping the blog will help me organize my thoughts and ideas so I don't go crazy and become...BRIDEZILLA...RARRRRH!!!
