I met my now fiance at my aunt's wedding. He is good friends with my cousins. So the moment we met the sparks flew, still till this day he says I swept him of his feet with my eyes and smile. We have been dating since that day. It took him 3-4 months to tell me he loved me. Which was a big step for him because he has been hurt so badly in the past. So anyways we had our 2 year anniversary on Aug. 23rd of 2005. We both knew we wanted to marry eachother and have children together but he just kept telling me he didn't want to do it till the time was right.

Well this past weekend Jan. 14th we went snowboarding, it was my first time. After a while I was pretty tired and was sitting at the top of the hill. He went down on his own and came back up and went to the opposite side of the top of the hill where I was sitting and then asked me to come over where he was sitting. So I get over there and sit down and he then got up on his knees (now remember we are still both latched in our boards) and he said he had a question to ask me as he was taking off his gloves and putting his hand in his pocket. He then pulled off his hat and he had been wearing a bandana and while he was at the bottom of the hill he had put on a piece of duct tape that he had made up earlier on his bandana and on there it said "Will you marry me Tara?" I look at him and he's crying and shaking and well I of course said yes.

He had the ring for about 2 weeks and the card that came with it for the certified diamond had a pic of the ring and he was carrying it around showing it to all my friends, his friends and my family. So everyone knew he was going to ask me but none of them knew when or how. It was so unexpected and so wonderful. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Well so now it's time for planning the wedding. And I am LOST!!!!

Thats cool. There are a few in here getting married in 07, but most of us are getting married this year.
The girls in here are great and any question you might have, someone will have an answer for.
You can go to the Journals forum and get a lot of ideas from our journals.
