NewportMarinaBride

My groom and I met in march 1999 at a Bar in Orange County. But we didn't meet with flirting or hitting on each other, it was more funny stories I over heard him talking about, so I joined in on the conversations. We connected as friends first, and over 2 years(2001) we discovered that we should work together. After 2 years of working together(2003), one Client's Event took us to a new level, the words came out, not from me, but from him, my furture groom. He babbled on and on that night about how he knew someday he would kiss me and sooo many other "woo'ing" words that all girls dream of, he babbled on with. After 2 1/2 years into our new relationship(2005), we had a baby boy, our beautiful prince he was and is now. The engagement came on December 26th 2008, a gift under our Christmas tree was not a real gift, but a distraction. While I was opening that gift, he walked over with a gift bag I knew very well, one from the local Jewlers, I opened it and there was an Anniversary Band filled with sparkling diamonds(he didn't know what kind of ring to buy), but he didn't say anything except "will you wear it?" I said "of course, I wear all the jewlery you buy me". I didn't want to put my foot in my mouth. The next day came, we were visiting his family, I didn't say much about the ring to family because I didn't know what the ring meant, but I noticed he seemed very quiet during that day, as maybe I didn't make a big deal about it. Well, that night we sat around our bonfire and he asked me why I had the ring on my right hand and not on my left, I said "that finger is dedicated to only one kind of ring" he said "what?" I said "the only rings that go on that finger is and engagement set and thats it!" So he tried to convice me to put it on that fiunger and before you kew it, he took off my ring from my right hand and placed it on my left, but I stopped him right before it got to its new place, I said "aaah-aaaaaah, you have to say it"  so he did, asking me to marry him. It was very cute. Then I jumped up kissing him saying"Yes, I will marry you, of course" and also said "See, now we're Enegaged, I have to call everyone"(it was 10:30pm on a Friday night). I was sooooo excited and that night we talked about getting married in 2010 and how our honeymoon would be. The Wedding Location has always been, we cannot get enough of that place, our second home on the water. We moved our date to 2012 due to economic changes with both of our businesses. Now we are excited to just be wed, like we should have done years ago.
