Wedding details
Ok, I know this is gonna sound bad, but it's really an amazing story, so just read, & please don't judge till you get to the end... It was 2nd semester freshman year in 2006...my best friend was Megan Dennis & she was dating him...Nick Congiardo. I knew him from middle school, but I didn't "know" know him. Megan & I had gym together 3rd block & we never dressed out...we'd just lay up on the top of the bleachers & talk. Well, what do teenage girls usuallt talk about?...BOYS! & that is exactly what we talked about...she'd talk about him, things he did, & how he treated her. I don't know, I shouldn't have, but for some odd reason, it caught my attention & I couldn't wait for the next day to come when she could tell me more about him. It was the beginning of summer & school had just let out...I was home alone one night & this wierd guy kept calling me & wouldn't leave me alone, so I called Megan. She was on the phone with Nick, & said she'd put me on three-way so we could all talk. Well, that's exactly what we did...well, Nick & I. This all started about 8 o'clock maybe, & it was about 10 already...Megan hadn't got one word in since I was clicked in. Nick & I just kept talking & she kept sighing. So finally, she said something to the effect of, "I'm going to bed, keep talking, yall aren't including me in this conversation anyway!" & Nick said, "I don't have her number..." & before I could spit it out, Megan gave it to him. He didn't realized this until later, but he wrote my number on the lyrics to "Lips of an Angel" by Hinder...HOW IRONIC?! Anyways, we all hung up, & before I could breath my phone rang, it was him...of course. So we talked & talked. I woke up the next morning to find my phone still by my ear. We had fallen asleep talking, both of us...he said that when he woke up he said, "Goodnight" & hung up to get ready for work. So we didn't talk for a while after that, but on July 4, 2006 I got a text message from him. We texted back & forth for days & then he started calling me. We'd talk about anything & everything. I started going up to his work everyday to see him. Megan was in Texas, so she knew nothing... We texted while he was at work & as soon as he got home he'd call & we'd talk till bedtime. See, the thing about Megan is that she was a bitch. I'm sorry for my language, but that's simply being nice. She treated him like shit, & he deserved way better. They argued constantly & she cheated on him all the time. I know she was my best friend, but she was a very bad person, & he was...amazing. He deserved so much more & I even told him that. We continued to text & talk everyday & we got closer. He'd talk to me about his problems with Megan & how she treated him & I'd simply say the same thing over & over again...I told him that he was an amazing guy & that any girl would be lucky to have him. I told him that he was being treated like shit & that he deserved someone better, someone like me. Well, he got the hint so to speak & he agreed. He asked me to go to a baseball game with him, his mom had won some tickets & gave them to him & his sister. His sister took her boyfriend & he took me. I didn't dress up or anything, it wasn't supposed to mean anything...it was just supposed to be a baseball game. I didn't intend on doing anything. We sat beside each other, watched the game, & talked...that's it. We accidently hit elbows & we both jumped back & apoligized! I told you, nothing was intended to happen! It was just a game. He even asked Megan if she would mind if he asked me to go with him, & she said she didn't mind...she obvioulsly had no clue what had been going on. So after the game, we got in the back seat of the car, his mom was driving...we were only 15. I was sitting by the window as far away from him as possible, but he kept scooting closer. I had nowhere else to go! lol! I was halfway up the window! We finally got to my house & we both hoped out of the back seat. You know that odd moment when a boy drops a girl off after a "date"? Well, this was that! We just kinda stood there & looked at each other! lol! We said something to the effect of "I had a good time" & he kissed me on the cheek. One thing I definetly didn't expect...he whispered, "I love you..." I didn't reply, he got back in the car & they drove off. We kept up with our usual routine. We kept talking & textig everyday! Although one thing did change...we started talking about us. He started telling me that he knew I would treat him better, & that made me happy! By this time, I had really fallen for this guy & I wanted him to break up with Megan. She was still in Texas, so it was like we were already together. We talked about him breaking up with her & one day, he was actually going to. It was going to happen, but I told him not to. I had done somethings that previous weekend that had made my mind get all scrammbled. I had seen my ex, who I thought broke my heart & we kinda clicked. I don't know what I was thinking, but after I told him not to break up with her & we hung up, I wanted to scream. I wanted to be with him. & I thought I had just ruined my chances. Being the good guy that he is, he started feeling guilty & told Megan everything. Of course, she went crazy, who wouldn't? She called me from Texas bitching me out, but I didn't care. I told her that I thought she treated him bad & that he deserved way better. Well, our friendship ended right then. Nick & I stopped talking, & I stopped going to his work everyday. I thought it was over, but he started calling about a week later. We'd talk about Megan & their problems. They'd argue everyday & it was usually about nothing. I just listened...that's what he needed. This went on for the rest of the summer. When school started back in August, we were still talking regularly, but Megan didn't know. I'd see him in the halls & he'd give me a secret smile. One day in October, everything changed. It was exactly 8 days before Halloween when he broke up with her. She became the crazy ex & tried to make him feel guilty, but his mind was made up, he wanted something better...someone better. We went back to texting & talking everyday. He asked me to go to a school football game that weekend. When I got there, he was already there...standing under the bleachers. It was freezing cold & raining. We stood there under the bleachers the entire game. He stood behind me with his arms wrapped around me. We stood with our two friends, Brian & Brigette. At one point, they walked off to get hot chocolate & we just stood there, him holding me. He says to this day, that he was going to kiss me then, but he kept chickening out, & when he finally got up the guts, Brian & Brigette came back. The game was almost over & his mom & dad where on the bleachers watching the game. They came down to get him to leave & when they walked off to head to the car...he kissed me. He turned around & walked off & I just stood there dumbfounded. It felt so amazing! I felt amazing! It was October 31, 2006 & it was before 3rd block & our classes were right across from each other. By now, we are walking together all the time. He walked me to & from all of my classes. We got to the door of my class, & we just stood there holding hands. He had this look on his face & I didn't know what was happening. Somehow, he managed to mumble those words that at that time seemed so amazing, "Will you go out with me?" & of course I said,"Yes!" My stomach was full of butterflies & I couldn't breathe, but it was perfect. We didn't even care that my teacher was standing right next to us posting by the door. We kissed & then the bell rang & are hands slowly parted. Since then we have done nothing but fall more & more in love with each other. We finished high school together & went to prom, & the week after graduation, we moved into our own house. The night of September 26, 2009, we had just got done arguing about something stupid & we were getting ready for bed, he came over to my side of the bed & got down on one knee. With tears in his eyes he said, "I know this isn't the best time, but I can't wait any longer, will you marry me?" As tears filled my eyes, I said, "YES!" & gave him a huge hug. He didn't have a ring yet, but he gave me the necklace he wears everyday & asked me to wear it until he got one. When he asked me out sophmore year, it never crossed my mind I'd be enaged to him 3 years later. I never thought that two people could fall so deeply in love with each other. Well, now I know...& I can't wait to spent the rest of my life with him!

Much in the way that girls dream of their wedding day from the time they're five years old on, I've known plenty of women who started thinking of baby names at a young age. When I was five, I would...

My last depo shot expired at the beginning of October. My doctor said that it could take as long as 6 months to get out of my system...sometimes longer. I'm terrified at the thought of that, but I can't get any real advice from my her, because she...
