Hi everyone!
I'm relatively new the the forums, and after about a year and a half of lurking, I've finally decided to step out of the internet-shadows and make myself known. So, please be gentle! I'll try to be as organized as possible with my PJ!
You ladies have all been awesome sharing your details in your planning journals, and it's been very helpful to me! Lots of wonderful ideas, for sure. So thank you!
Okaaay, first things first! My name is Anjanette and I'm 24 years old. My fiance's name is Jason and he's 34 years old. We live together in southern California.
Our Story
The two of us met as many couples do, through our workplace. I'm painfully shy in person, and it took months of working together before we started to develop a friendship. We used the wonders of the internet (MySpace and AIM) to better get to know one another. We'd always had the common interest of being huge into Disneyland, and the Nightmare Before Christmas; however, we had no idea just how much we really had in common until we started to talk much more. The more we talked, the quicker and harder we both fell for one another! We had planned a trip to Disneyland a while before that, and at that point were counting down the days. We had our very first date in the park on May 1, 2007 and we've been inseparable ever since!
Here's a recent picture of the two of us at Disneyland:
The Proposal Story
On December 15, 2007 the two of us had gone to Disneyland with my parents. Jason had me completely fooled into believing we were meeting up with his family to go Christmas shopping for his nieces. Being the gullible silly-head I am, I bought it.
After spending some time all together, and having gone on a few rides, we made our way back to a trading pin cart we often frequented. Jason told me to stay with the others while he got me something. There was a new pin out I had been lusting after, so I figured that's what it was. Sure enough, he comes back with a small bag. I reached inside and see the pin. He then tells me to take it off its backing and put it on. This was strange to me, because I never wear the pins. So I go to take it off its backing, and a ring falls off the back... Jason gets down on one knee to pick it up and pops the question!
Needless to say, I said yes.
My ring:
And with the wedding band (it's a set).
