Engagement

I'm engaged! On May 10, 2014, the man I love, proposed to me! I can't explain how happy I am! The engagement was truly an amazing experience.

But before I get into how he proposed to me, let me provide a brief history. My fiance and I met on the beautiful night of love, Valentines night, in 2010. We live two and a half hours away. It is tough having along distance relationship, but hey, we made it work for 4 years, so far :D. 

Now on to the exciting engagement! It was the day before mothers day, and he had told me he was not coming to see me because he was going to spend mothers day with his mother and aunt. I completely understood and besides, my awesome friend had invited me to a " fashion show". How could I turn down a fashion show? She had told me we are going to a fashion show where we had to dress up really nice and she helped pick out my outfit. Once we arrive to the "fashion show site", she noted the venue for the show was not ready and since we were early, she decided that we should take a walk at the park. As we were walking in the park, I turned to my right and there he was, the love of my life, waiting for me with rose petals on the floor. I could not believe what my eyes were seeing, he walked up to me and gave me a small speech and proposed! It was truly beautiful. Of course I said YES! After our moment, I noticed there was a photographer. Yes a photographer, he hired to capture the moment! How thoughtful of him! Right after, we had our engagement shoot. Proposed to and engagement shoot all in one day! As you could have already figured, there was not a fashion show, it was all a set up. It's a moment I would not change for anything in the world. 

Here are some pictures from the engagement. 

There he was waiting for his future fiance <3

While I was walking (still did not know he was there) 


The moment I realized what was happening

After I said the big YES!




There are plenty more pictures, but did not want to bore you with a million pictures of the engagement. ;)

Now that I'm engaged, what happens next? I would like to take you on my journey of planning my wedding. I would be posting pictures from the very beginning of the planning process to the very end. I am not planning to hire a wedding planner for the time being, because I want to experience every single moment of this beautiful process. We are hoping to get married in May of 2015. Let the planning begin!
