THE STORY OF US » Who We Are » Yankees Vs. Mets

posted 2 years ago

To sum it up we are both stubborn, sincere, easy going, goofy, and always love to make each other laugh. He's a Mets fan and i'm a Yankee fan so it makes for an interesting baseball season. He is my better half who keeps me grounded and supports me no matter what. We come from two totally different childhoods but have the same common goals in our future. We absolutely LOVE to travel and look forward to doing as much of that before settling down with a family. We love to cook, go camping with friends and spend time with our families.

THE STORY OF US » How We Met » It all started with the spin of a bottle....

posted 2 years ago

So you're probably wondering why I called my entry "It all started with spin the bottle?!" Well since I was a huge tom boy back in the day I spent my summers hanging out with the kids up the street who were all boys. We would ride our bikes, dig holes in the sands and build tree forts. I met this one boy who lived on the street next to mine this one summer and we all decided to play spin the bottle. It wasn't until the proposal, which we will get to later, that I realized I played spin the bottle with three boys! Go me! Well I only kissed one boy and little did I know that boy would turn out to be the love of my life and now my fiance! This entire journey that i'm currently on all started with spin the bottle......

Since my fiance is 3 years older than me we parted ways after that summer since he moved up to junior high and I stayed behind. I would see him every blue moon around town over the years and remember that fun filled summer but never thought we would reconnect. It wasn't until one day in April of 2006 I decided to search a social media website for people in my hometown that suddenly out of nowhere I found him! Nervously I decided to write him a message that went along the lines of something like, "Hey! I don't know if you remember me but I'm that dorky girl down the street that played spin the bottle with you when we were younger. How are you?" I pressed send and sat in my seat questioning whether that was the right approach. Well a day later I get a response back and to my surprise it wasn't just a quick hello, it was a full paragraph! From there we exchanged words here and there and it wasn't until a couple months later that we actually spoke over the phone and from there it became a whirlwind journey! I lived in Illinois at the time and he lived in New York but it wasn't long before (6 months) I decided to move back home and really take this relationship to the next level. And 3 years later we have decided to take it to another level...marriage!

THE STORY OF US » The Proposal » Back where it all started....

posted 2 years ago

I knew he had to ask my parents for their blessing and since they live in Florida and were visiting this past summer it was obvious that a proposal was in our near future. It actually wasn't a surprise to me as to when he would ask for their blessing since it was the last weekend they were in town (Labor Day weekend) and I knew he didn't ask yet. See we have an extremely open relationship and share every detail and thought we have so he admitted he hadn't asked them yet. LOL

I woke up late Labor Day morning and came downstairs to find my father wrapping his arms around me and saying "you're my last one" and it was clear that he finally did ask. NOW it was only a matter of time and because I knew that....it killed me! I wish now that I didn't know because every weekend or any hint of him acting differently and I was a on my toes waiting for the moment. Not exactly the way I would have imagined it. We were headed to Mexico in a few weeks and many of my friends and co-workers mentioned that he's going to do it on vacation but I knew he wouldn't because he wouldn't leave that ring in a hotel room safe in a foreign country. Weeks passed and I was getting really antsy and again I wish it was a complete surprise because I was getting impatient. It wasn't until we went up to CT to have brunch with my sister and brother in law that the day finally happened. We were on our way up and I was on the phone with my sister to let her know we were on our way and would see them soon. My FI mentioned to me that he wanted to drive by our old stomping ground and see the houses we grew up in. I was not keen on the idea since we already drove by our old neighborhood a few weeks back and we were going to be late for brunch. I am one of those people who keep a time schedule and cannot be late! So I got a bit annoyed and then BAM! it hit me...I sat in my seat and realized this could be it! And to this day he has no clue that I knew beforehand what he was doing...so that's hush hush! =)

We drove by our old houses and up the street and it was all too familiar yet houses have changed and the street didn't seem so long like we when we were children. He stopped the car and said he wanted to check out the old tree fort and asked me to get out. I had flip flops on and it rained the night before so rain plus dirt = mud and that sucked! BUT I kept my mouth shut and got out and he looked up at the tree and realized there were only two pieces of wood left from what used to be our tree fort. He realized his plan was not going to go accordingly and I laughed when he said that. Now my FI is amazing with his words and I was looking forward to his speech and how much I would cry from it. To my surprise he looked a deer in headlights now that his plan was shifted and it was kind of funny. He kept stroking my arm and saying how much he loved me and I knew he was having a hard time getting his words out which was very cute. Back in my "how we met" post, I mentioned how I played spin the bottle with 3 other boys and it was then that he started his speech saying something along the lines of, "20 years ago you took a chance on me out of 3 boys...." Wow! haha! After a few more sweet words he got down on one knee and proposed and I think I said yes before he got the last word out. And there it was the most amazing ring.....so shiny and blinding! It was one of the best moments of my life and I love how symbolic the proposal was and where it took place.

CLOTHING » Wedding Dress » Paloma Blanca....I think i'm in love!

posted 2 years ago

Although I didn't fall head over heels in love with this dress when I saw it on the website, it did however catch my eye every single time I saw it. It wasn't until I tried it on the day after Christmas that I knew it was the one. It's perfect for a destination wedding in the caribbean because it's light!

EVENTS » Engagement Party » Unforgettable Engagement Party 1-9-10

posted 2 years ago

My FI's mother and stepfather decided to host an engagement party for us so that our families could come together for the first time and celebrate. It was absolutely perfect and a bit emotional. My father gave a speech and he could barely finish before he teared up and that of course got me and bunch of other women in the room all teary eyed too. I'm his youngest daughter and last to be married so I realized it's going to be the hardest for him. Another big surprise was his sister surprising me with centerpieces that were the same flowers that my bouquet will be! So I got to see what they would look like before my wedding! It was extremely thoughtful of her and i'm lucky to have her as my future SIL. We had a beautiful engagement cake made that was the talk of the party and i'm so happy I got it. Everyone enjoyed themselves and it's just a taste of what's to come!
