HOW WE MET:
Well we met at a bar, I know what you are thinking, but he and I had some mutual friends and didn't even know it. So we started talking and becoming better friends. One of the first things he did was at 12:01 am the day after my birthday he threw me in the snow outside a bar we were at. It all started because we were joking around and I told him he had to me nice to me because it was my birthday. Well at 12:01 he said It is no longer your birthday lets go... I found out later he wanted to kiss me that night when he "rescued me from the snow" but instead some of our friends followed us out to actually rescuse me. After that, well the rest as they say is history.
ABOUT US AND DISNEY
I am a huge Disney freak, I worked at Blizzard Beach on the college program in the spring of 2000. DF didn't really know much about Disney, so I made sure to plan a vacation for us to go. He is a huge Nascar fan, so for a surprise and special gift for humoring me and going to Disney I bought him the Rookie experience. I actually was able to keep it a secret. I told him we were going to the track for a tour, then while waiting for the van to get us at the TTC I asked if he wanted to drive. He was so excited just like a little kid on Christmas morning. He had so much fun, when we got home he decided to get into go kart racing. Now he and I both race karts at two local dirt tracks.
THE PROPOSAL:
I had been getting anxious about getting engaged and he kept playing it off. So one night he suggested we go to dinner with my parents since we hadn't seen them in a while. I agreed it was a great idea, he also suggested we go eat at Buffalo Wild Wings, that was where we went on one of our first dates.
Apparently while we were at my parents house getting ready to go to dinner, he and my dad had a talk. He asked my dad for his blessing and showed him the ring.
Then after dinner he asked to see the ring I wear on my right hand. I said Why? He said just let me see it. So I did, then a while later I said, Can I have it back, to which he said No not yet. A little more time passed and he says Oh no I dropped your ring, to which I OF COURSE said you jerk why did you do that. So immediately began looking for it on the floor under the booth. He asked me to sit up, but I was concerned with finding it, then my mom says just sit up a minute. Well when I did he was down on his knee holding out my engagement ring. And then I was not to nice and said "What are you doing?" Then he proceed to say some very nice thing and ask me to marry him to which I said YES!
No more than 5 minutes after, mom started asking about weddings. I said I wanted a destination wedding, then mom said well here is your budget where do you want to go? I said Disney and that started the whole process.
LOCATION:
We both agreed we would get married at SBP, it looks so beautiful.
DATE:
Well neither of us wants to wait to long (as I joked I waited long enough LOL)
He joked and said what about on his birthday (April 18th) Then I said why don't we try for the 16th it was his grandfather's birthday who passed before I met DF but they were very close. So it was settled. We would try for the 16th.
His idea is to drive at the Richard Petty Expirence on Saturday April 17th, he has been talking about driving there again ever since we left the first time.
Then we can celebrate his birthday on the 18th.
