Dara & Mike's Pj: July 26,2008

[disneybride816]

So, after months of being inspired by all of you girls, I have finally started to begin my PJ. Mike and I are getting married at Disney's Wedding Pavilion and having our reception at the Grand Floridian.

Where it all began......

I met Mike 6 years ago in a place I hated more than anywhere else in the world, COLLEGE ALGEBRA CLASS!!! Mike sat next to me for an entire semester, and I never thought we'd become anything other than friends. I used to feel bad for him on test days because he didn't know what he was doing, so I'd let him copy mine. Bad, I know fellow teachers, but I saw something special in his eyes.

A year later, Mike went from freshman boy I barely noticed, to hot man on campus. HEE, HEE. I had noticed that Mike seemed to be turning up everywhere I went. I used to work at Structure (remember that place), and he was in there all the time. He finally asked me for my number and we went on our first date.

A few weeks later while at his house, Mike laughed and told me he needed to show me something. He opened his closet and pulled out bags and bags from Structure. He told me he hadn't even worn any of the clothes he bought, he use to just come to see me. AWWWW!!!! I went home and told my mother I found the boy I was suppose to marry. She laughed..

The Proposal....

On our five year anniversary, Mike planned an amazing weekend in Boston. Go Red Sox! We stayed at a hotel called Jury's (awesome) and went for dinner at a new Mediterrean restaurant called Avila's. My friends had me convinced Mike was going to pop the question that night, but I didn't think so. After dinner, and no proposal, I kinda felt bummed. When I stepped outside of the restaurant I saw this...

The woman driving the carriage asked if it would be ok if we stopped at Boston Commons so she could feed the horse. I am so gullible of course I believed her. It was a beautiful September night, so Mike suggested we walk through the park. When we came to the bridge where the famous Boston Swan Boats are, I looked out onto the water thinking of how beautiful the night was. When I turned around Mike was down on his knee holding an open box with an engagement ring. I literally lost my breath, and cannot remember hearing any of his speech except for, Will you marry me?" In the box was a picture of our Yorkie Lola that said this...

thanks for all your help. Here are the pictures from our engagement.

Sorry about the size. Before I post the rest could someone help me out on resizing? I resized it in photobucket, but when I copy it, it still looks big.
