Wedding preparations begin!

I have had so much fun the past couple of days starting my wedding planning. Yesterday I went wedding dress shopping with one of my bridesmaids and got to try on a couple of dresses too! It was so surreal to see myself in a wedding dress!! :-D And today I went hopping around reception venue hunting with another one of my bridesmaids. Both were very tiring days bu t so much fun! I think it's finally starting to sink in that I'm getting married :-D 

Also, I had to say goodbye to my friend's gorgeous little family for at least a year as I make this trip overseas. It was so sad thinking about how grown up her children will be next time I see them <3

The day he asked me to marry him

Nic asked me to marry him on the 17th of January 2012, my best friend's 11th wedding anniversary. It was such a beautiful day (which was lucky because it had been raining and overcast for a few days) he took me for a drive down to the beach where we started picking up shells and Nic suggested we buy a photo frame and decorate it with the shells we find (little did I know he was just biding time for the sun to set lower). By this time I was suspecting he was going to ask me so when he came over to show me some shells and asked me to look underneath them my heart started pounding "Oh, that is so romantic!" only to turn them over and nothing was there HAHA!

After we put are cool shells in the car we walked back to the ocean and I got distracted by the tiniest crab I had ever seen. We then went for a walk along the jetty and Nic asked me how much I loved him, kissed me and pulled out the ring and asked me to marry him. A few minutes later after kisses and photos he asked "Did I ask you to marry me or did I ask you to be my wife?" Haha I told him the he asked me to marry him and then he sighed and said "Oh, I wanted to ask you to be my wife." It's adorable moments like this that make me fall more in love him everyday <3 I am so lucky to have him in my life and this time around he's gunna be stuck with me forever! I can't wait!
