34 yr old Nurse Practitioner born and raised in Tampa Florida. I was recently engaged in Montego Bay Jamaica 8/18/19 . My FH and I have been together now 2 years. We meet on Facebook and chatted over 8 months. Once we finally met in person, we instantly felt the chemistry and started "dating". He is more excited about the wedding and has set the date for my 35th birthday 8/16/2020. I used to want a fairytale wedding but after being single for 7 years I lost that but I do want a nice elegant wedding. My budget is 16K , although I know we may go over this amount( hopefully by only 2K). I am looking forward to a beautiful day marrying the man I vow to be with forever.

Happily married 🎉
