The Bride: Me (Lisa-Marie)
The Groom: Danny
Our story, the short version:
We met at my house actually. I was throwing a surprise birthday party for a friend of mine. He had tagged along with a friend of his. We were briefly introduced, and I thought nothing of it b/c I had a significant other at the time (which was an awful relationship I was trying to get out of). So we met, talked for a few seconds, and then didn't speak for a couple of months.
Two months later, I noticed that I missed a show that his band was playing, so I sent him an email asking him when his next show was. We started talking, end it ended up to be a 2 1/2 hour conversation. At the end of it, he said, very simply "I'm sorry, if I don't ask you out right now, I am never going to forgive myself". How could I say no to that? So he called me later that night and we set up plans for our first date.
Nine months later, he took me on a picnic and proprosed to me in the middle of a state park, by a waterfall. He's very proud of the waterfall and insists that I bring it up whenever I tell people about the proposal, lol. About a month and a half after we got engaged (and right as we were about to put a down payment on a reception hall for our wedding), we found out we were expecting! I am very happy I took the preg test the day that I did, b/c otherwise we would have lost a $1000 deposit.
I wanted to do a destination wedding from the beginning, but DF wanted something at home with family. It's funny b/c now that we have a daughter, his family drives him nuts, so he'd rather do the destination. I came up with the idea of a Disney World wedding (we had originally decided on a Disney Cruise Wedding). That way we have a "destination wedding", but it's not too far for some people to attend.
We've decided to get married at Sea Breeze Point on September 6, 2007. So my wedding day is quickly approaching!
