Hi everyone! :wave2: I’ve been following the boards for sometime now and now I am finally going to start a PJ :O)

Bride: Lisa Marie - Nurse

Groom: Juan – Double Agent for the Geek Squad.

The Beginning :

Believe it or not, we met online (by pure fate if you ask me). It was during my senior year in high school and I was doing research on what colleges I wanted to attend. I was searching on aol profiles (Yes, pre myspace and facebook lol) for anyone that was online and had FGCU in their profile to get a student's perspective. That's when I came across Juan's profile. Seemed like a nice guy, so I instant messaged him. Turns out that he was thinking about going to FGCU, but caught up in work and never got a chance to, and hadn't taken it out of his profile. We began exchanging instant messages and emails, then it progressed to phone calls. We talked for nearly a year before I had agreed to meet him in person. I was driving home on my birthday Dec 29th, 2002 when Juan called me to wish me a happy birthday. We happened to be in the same area and decided to meet. The meeting spot was that Hallmark parking lot at Page Field Commons. He drove up in his '87 Trans Am, nice build, tan, shaved head (he recently got out of the Air Force and the shaved head…not my favortie hehe), with a cup of ice in hand because he had just got his tongue pierced. We walked over to Books A Million had got a frap from Joe Muggs Cafe. We hung out for about 2 hrs and went on our way. Now with all honesty I was not attracted to him at all, plus I was sorta seeing some one at the time. Our talking on the phone more frequently and he became a close friend. He was always there for me when I needed him, from when I needed to get around the firewall at school so I could download music (Shhhh…. Don’t tell anyone), or if I needed a shoulder to cry on because so and so broke my heart. He literally was my best guy friend. One night Nov 21, 2004 we were hanging out like normal when we fell asleep watching tv in my room at my apt in Gateway, when we woke up, he decided to kiss me. I was thrown off, one because I was just waking up and two, he was my best friend. It's all history from there, we've been together ever since. :cloud9:

Coming up: The Engagement!
 
That is the sweatest story ever. My DF and I were friends before we started dating too and I think it is the best way to start any relationship!!

Welcome to the boards and looking forward to hearing what you plan!! :banana::banana::banana:

I couldn't agree more! I think being friends first was definitely the way to go for us even if it wasn't planned :laughing:
 

I LOVE DISNEY! And you should know that if you know me :) We were on our annual Disney trip March 22, 2007 - March 25, 2007. We checked into The Royal Plaza Hotel in Downtown Disney. On the 23rd we headed to Animal Kingdom and spent the day, Juan said he had something planned for dinner and not to fill up too much on Disney goodies. We headed back to the hotel to shower and get freshened up for dinner, I was curious to see what Juan had planned for dinner. At this point was seemed distracted, I figured it was just because we had a long day at the theme park. We got in the car and headed to dinner. We arrived at Magic Kingdom, I was a little thrown off, but he said we were having dinner at the park, I thought how cool, Ive never had a fancy dinner at the park before. We arrived at Cinderella's Castle. We got our picture taken with Cinderella as we waited for our table to be ready. Our table was ready and we were shown to a two seater table next to the stained glass window facing the carousel. It was so pretty inside, just like a fairytale. We ordered dinner and picked out our dessert because they do all the ordering up front. Juan excused himself to go to the bathroom and I enjoyed the view. We enjoyed a nice dinner, but throughout the whole night, Juan seemed distracted, like I couldn't grab his attention. We finished our main course, which was delicious, and it was time for dessert. Well, here comes the Fairy God Mother from Cinderella with a silver covered platter in her hands. She makes her way to our table and says that she has made a wish come true tonight. She placed the silver platter on the table in front of me and lifted the cover off. On the plate was a glass slipper, surrounded by rose pedals, in the glass slipper was a diamond ring. The next thing I knew, Juan was on one knee giving some speech (which I remember nothing of because I was in shock) asking me to marry him. The whole restaurant was clapping and congratulating us. The glass slipper had both out names inscribed on one side, on the other side it said "will you be my princess?" and on the inside, it had the date he proposed. It was my own fairytale. They brought out my real desert, which was a white chocolate slipper with the words "will you marry me?" written in chocolate on the plate. As we were enjoying our dessert and I was in awe, fireworks started and we had front row seats, it was truly magical and I was with my prince charming.

That is an amazing engagement story! Very romantic. Me and my DF also were really good friends before we started dating, and like you, one day we just kissed, and have been together ever since! I am using the same locations as you so I am very excited to follow your plans, I don't see too many brides using ADH on here! Can't wait to here more! (P.S. my bday is Dec 29th too!)
 
That is so romantic!! Congratulations!

Yay for Dec 29th birthday!! I fell in love with ADH! I glad you chose it as well. I have been a slacker with my posting updates, but I am hoping to change that. I am looking forward to seeing your plans as well!!
 
The Best Man: Edwin.
Juan and Edwin have been friends forever. Both their dads were in the Army and they were stationed in Korea for 3-4 years. The stories I hear about them two are crazy!

The Matron of Honor: Joy
Joy and I have know each other since the 7th grade. We were in all the same classes together 7th and 8th grade.... yea we were teachers pets and usually got our way. We ended up going to different high schools but that didn't keep us apart and oh, the trouble we got into was priceless. I love our friendship, we could go months without talking and pick up right where we left off. We made a promise when we were in middle school to be each others MOH. She got married our senior year of high school and I was her MOH. So now its her turn for MOH.

Bridesmaid: Hope
Hope and I met in nursing school. I don't think we could have made it through it without each other. Juan and Austin say her and I can talk without saying anything lol apparently we are telepathic.

Side note: Hope and Austin used to date, which when we asked them to be apart of our wedding I thought it was cute that two of our friends were dating....well now they are not and he is seeing someone else now. They both said there is no hard feeling and they don't mind walking down the isle together.....but that's not what I am worried about, I hope his new girl understands that and doesn't make a scene. I haven't met her yet, but I do plan on talking to her, I mean who know if they will still be together in 6 months, so I guess we will see.
 
I had a countdown on my Iphone waiting for the 12 month mark so I could call and get the date and venue I wanted. 12/11/09 came and I awaited to hear if I got what I wanted...... Well I got an email from Diane Mahoney-Brown saying that 3 other couples want ADH. What? Come on, seriously? :scared1: How dare they lol. Well okay, into the lottery I go. The anticipation was killing me, now I have to wait longer? Uggghhh okay. Well I had a final that day, so I had to put that aside and take the final.

After what felt like days (probably only a few hours lol) I found out that I didn't get the ADH :headache: I have to pick someone else?!?:eek: I didn't plan on that. Oh boy the anxiety. :scared:

Ok after having a debate in my nursing class....oh yes the teacher let me take sometime to discuss while she graded the finals. I decided on the GF. I had seen some really beautiful receptions there. Ok decision made. Okay what now? I have to wait another 4 months to book at the GF?!?! Oh I think I am getting an ulcer. Breathe in, breathe out. You'll get your date, just be patient I kept repeating to myself.

So, another countdown goes into the Iphone........

A few days before I can officially sign, I get an email from Diane saying that the couple who had the ADH, decided to post pone their date and it was now available if I was still interested. What?!?:eek: Of course! SO....YAY :banana: I ended up with ADH after all. :dance3: I felt like a little girl when she gets her first kiss with all the butterflies in her stomach i was on cloud 9 :cloud9:

SO, WP at 12 and ADH 1-6. All set!
 
Wow that is a lot of stress over your date/location, but at least you ended up getting it!! That must be a huge relief!
 
I can't believe that many other people wanted ADH on the same day as you! I have not seen that many weddings with brides using ADH on here so I'm shocked to hear you almost didn't get it! Can't wait to hear more, especially about how you are setting up ADH!
 
Hi there!

I read on another thread that today is the day of your PS! :banana: Hope you are having a great time!

Cant wait to hear about it! I'm especially interested in which foods you decided to try and how everything was! Hopefully it was all GREAT!

Enjoy your trip!

Leah :)
