How did I get so lucky? I have a man that is supportive, loving, a hard worker, spoils me, an animal lover, makes me laugh, and makes it so I can never stay mad at him. Every night I come home from work all we do is laugh. We cuddle on the couch and wrestle around and even when he plays too rough and I start to get upset with him, he does something to harrass me so I'm laughing again. He's working extra hard to put money away so that I can go to school in March. He won't even let me consider putting it off so I can help with bills. He listens to everything I ever want to tell him, even when it's something he could care a less about. And most importantly, he just plain loves me.
These are all reasons I couldn't be more excited that I'm engaged to the love of my life. We are getting married on August 12, 2011 and we are both sooo excited! He proposed to me at my birthday party which completely shocked me. Everyone was in on it and knew about it...everyone but me! He even went and asked my dad's permission. The ring is absolutely gorgeous and everything I could have ever hoped for. It's exactly what I wanted (cuz him and amy know me so damn well). Of course, I never expected him to pay that much for a ring for me but he said he wanted to get me the best he could :)
It's such an amazing feeling to be so excited to get married. Every person in my life is happy for us and happy that we're doing it. It's not one of those situations where they think we're too young, or he doesn't treat me right, or we haven't been together long enough. Everyone understands and knows that it just works, and when it just works... there's no point in waiting any longer.
To top it all off, my parents are making it possible for us to get married at our dream venue. It's going to be at Brownstone Gardens in Oakley. The ceremony and reception are both outside which is something I've dreamed of doing my whole life. One of my favorite things in the world are summer nights, so what better wedding to have than a reception during a lovely summer night?
People have asked why the big rush to get married this coming year. I blame Mat! haha Obviously, I'm excited to get married soon, but I could have waitied if need be. Not him. He says the whole point of an engagement is to get married. He wants to marry me, not be engaged to me so what's the wait? Well okay dear, we'll get married this coming year :) No argument here! hehe
