Rachel

Our journey began on June 19th, 2008.  A night out to chili's restaurant with girlfriends turned into a night that would change both of our lives.  I, Rachel, had Jason as a waiter at Chilis while out on a girls night.  We kind of talked back and forth and I decided to leave my number for him on my receipt.  To my surprise, he actually texted me that same night and we started talking every day after that! Our first "date" was July 14th and since I had no idea really who he was, I had my girlfriends hang out with us too.  Since then we have been inseperable and completely head over heels for eachother.   We left on our holiday cruise December 18, 2009 onboard the Carnival Imagination out of Miami, Florida.  We had an amazing first night on the cruise exploring.  The next day (the 19th) we would be ported in Nassau, Bahamas and would swim with dolphins!! The whole day was AWESOME!! We walked through the Atlantis aquarium on our way to our dolphin encounter.  Our time started to cut close to our dinner reservation time and it was formal night so we needed to get back to get ready.  When we finally got back and got dressed and ready for dinner, we headed to the dining room.  Our lobster dinner was delicious.  We ordered our dessert and waited and waited and waited.  Finally it arrived.. except mine was covered.  I took off the cover and underneath was a black box placed on a beautifully folded flower napkin.  By the time I can absorb what it could be, I looked over and Jason was on one knee right in front of the whole dining room and said, "well open it".  I opened the box and found a 1 carat princess cut diamond ring in white gold.  Absolutely stunning!! I turned to Jason and he expressed how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and asked, "will you marry me?" Of course the answer was yes and now we are planning for our big BIG day!! :D   We couldn't be more happier!!
