Wedding details
Brett and I first started talking on the internet through a social site called "Myspace." We began chatting and soon realized we had a lot in common, the next thing I knew we traded phone numbers and were calling each other all the time. My original plans were to move to Rochester, since I worked there at the time. Brett informed me that he had an upstairs apartment open that was newly remodeled and the price was right, granted Janesville was further away from Rochester but what I was about to save on rent and utilities made it worth the extra drive. Brett and I spent many hours together and before long everyone in town was calling us a couple. Even our Priest told us were meant for each other! To this day we still call ourselves "best friends" and we have an amazing relationship! With the help and support of my "best friend", I struggled my way through nursing school while working full-time. Bless his heart and should for sticking with me, I never would have made it without him! Everyone joked that I would be his "sugar mama" to which I replied, "Only if he puts a ring on it". I graduated from nursing school in June of 2012. Brett has been by my side through the good and the bad, and for that I am very thankful! After all, isn't that what friends are for? Brett is very active with the fire department here in Janesville. Every year he responds to calls, participates in trainings and helps with many of the fund raisers. I have volunteered as much as I can and love every minute of it! Little did I know that one of these events would be forever cherished in my heart and change my life forever. It was a very rainy day on July 13, 2013. It was the annual golf tournament for the fire department. After a 3 hour rain delay we were able to play golf but first Brett had to go over all the regulations and explain how the additional games were played that were set up on the various holes, only this time he threw in an extra twist! He started talking about all the other weddings and proposals that had occurred in our area within that previous year (plastic cups start getting passed out), I am standing on the side thinking to myself, "that will never be us." But just then, out of the corner of my eye I see a sign but think nothing of it. I look again and I see my name on it (my heart begins pounding and racing)! At that point I turned to the girls (who were all smiles) and asked why is my name on that sign!? Brett is continuing to talk (I really have no idea what he was saying) and as I look at the sign again, this time able to read the entire sign which said, "Babs, I love you! Will you marry me? Your Sparky", he says something about "if you go, then we'll go"! I was shaking like a leaf on a tree and laughing uncontrollably as he turned to me got down on one knee and said, "It's been 5 years, 7 months and 8 days. Will you marry me?" I of course said yes and we all celebrated with Champaign (hence the cup reference earlier). Brett made me the happiest woman in the world that day! Needless to say I did not golf very well that day simply because I was busy looking at the ring on my hand still not sure if I was having a dream of if was real! It was the BEST day of my life!! We are looking forward to getting married at the Janesville Fire Department with our fa

2505 days agoFor such a small person and little fabric, $264 seems extreme. Did you get a good deal on your FG dress? If so, where?!
