Together with our seven fur-babies (no typo, seven!) we're eagerly planning our July 2010 wedding.

I always get moderately embarrassed when I tell people how we met. I don’t even know why anymore, it seems like nearly everyone has done it, but it still feels taboo!

You probably guessed it, we met online. Not just online, but probably the silliest dating site of them all… Plenty of Fish.

It was just after New Years, 2009, when I decided to post my profile online.  It seemed like all my friends were doing it… More of a past-time than an actual opportunity to meet someone. I decided to post a light-hearted profile with silly username. About two weeks after posting my profile I received a sweet message from G. After chatting via MSN for a few weeks we decided to meet.

From our first date I knew that there was a connection I’ve never experienced before. All we did on our first date is play the guitar (G is an extremely talented musician) and watch a movie, and it was the greatest date I’d ever had.

The day after we met I went  on a ski vacation with friends and I remember telling everyone that I had met the man I was going to marry. It was definitely love at first site.

 

Quickly after we moved in together the conversation turned towards us becoming engaged. The first time G brought it up I was so excited I almost puked (romantic, no?).

I knew the ring was purchased mid July and was somewhere in our apartment. I desperately fought the urge to tear everything apart to find it (I’m awful with surprises) and waited patiently.

Over the summer I had a rotten tummy ache that lasted about a week. The morning of August 4 I woke up feeling back to my old self and began getting ready for work. I was quickly grabbing something from a side table in our living room before heading out the door, I turned around to find G down on one knee. I immediately began crying. He had prepared a beautiful speech which I barely listened to because I was bursting with excitement. All I really remember is “will you marry me?”; and, of course, I said yes!!
