I guess I'll start with information about us.
Names: Frederick & Sarah
Nicknames: Rick & Sara (Birth certificate spells it with an 'h,' but everyone, including myself, is too lazy to spell it like that. :ooh:)
Ages: 19 & 17 ( I guess I'll be honest, we're very young but we're completely serious. We'll be 18 and 20 on our wedding date. Please, I don't want to hear any concerns, you don't know our relationship like we do and I get enough pressure from everyone but my parents. I thought it'd be the other way around, but they're completely supportive.)
How We Met: In the beginning of my second year of HS, I was eating outside with my friend during our free period. Rick was a senior. He was playing hacky sack near us with his friends (I actually became friends with his friends before I met him, that's why my close friend and I were sitting outside while they played.). He started talking to my friend and I. A few days later, I saw him again in the cafeteria and started talking to him. I forgot his name. I called him Brian, he laughed and corrected me. I had a boyfriend (4 months, not long.) at the time and my then boyfriend came up to me and kissed me. Rick looked upset. We continued to be friends, then my boyfriend dumped me soon after (for the third time, the four months was on and off.). I was really upset. Rick was there for me. Our friends told me Rick liked me, and it was obvious (his flirting techniques weren't very subtle.). One day, during Christmas break, we hung out for the first time outside school. It was just him and me. We ended up hanging out everyday after that. He helped me a lot with getting over my ex. Eventually, we stopped talking about him because I had moved on. We started talking more about ourselves. Then one night, while hanging out at my house, we kissed. We've been together ever since. It was different than all my other relationships (I started dating at 12, having relationships that lasted between 4 months-1 year. I've had about seven boyfriends before Rick, and went on dates in between.) It wasn't love at first sight, which I believe is really infatuation at first sight. I fell in love with Rick's personality, funniness, sweetness and friendliness. I didn't feel the same way as he did until I got to know him. He's not my first love (The relationship that lasted a year when I was 13-14 years old was, but I was far too immature then to treat him right.) but I believe we have the best love, b.c of the way I've matured with him and I now know how to love someone. I don't think our age has anything to do with it. It depends on the maturity, and we both have a lot of it.
Proposal: (I guess I'll just copy and paste the post I wrote in the Wedding Poll thread.) We were taking a walk outside around my block at 12 A.M. We talked about our futures. We spoke about what we wanted. When we reached a spot under a streetlight, he got down on one knee and said something along the lines of, "Sara, I love you with all my heart. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I hope you feel the same way. Will you marry me?" I said yes, he smiled and picked me up, spun me around. Then we ran back to my house holding hands and laughing. Five minutes after, I had to sneak a text and tell one of my closest friends, who's now one of my bridesmaids. There's no ring yet, but he tells me he has a surprise, but obviously, won't let me in on his idea. :ooh: (I'll let you know.)
Wedding Date: September 5th, 2009
Other Information: We set a follow up appointment to book our chosen reception site on May 27th, 2008. I've been paranoid about this, but Rick tells me constantly this is what he wants. I've always been second guessing our choice. Its going to happen though. It's a beautiful site; right across the street from a lake.
My friend (also a junior bridesmaid; she'll be 16 at the time of our wedding.) asked us if she could sing a song for us at the reception. We both replied with a yes. Good thing she has a great singing voice, otherwise it'd be hard to tell someone we care about no. I found out what she is singing, though I wasn't supposed to. She's singing "Who's to Say," by Vanessa Carlton. It's about two young lovers feeling like no one accepts them, but are defending their love for each other. It's sweet because after all the BS I've heard from people at school, I feel like that song describes us in a way.
One person actually came up to me and said Rick and I were going to get devorced! She's never saw us together, much less ever hung out with us. So how would she know? That'd bugged me. I think she's just jealous because she can't see her boyfriend, who's 25, because she's only 17. Hey, when I'm a mom (don't worry, Rick and I are waiting until after college to bring a new life into the world.) I'd never let my 17 year old daughter OR son date someone who is EIGHT years older than them. But anyways, when we set the date and announced it, she actually acted as if she was going to be invited. I don't want to be mean, but...I don't want someone who doesn't even support us to be at such a special day. That's understandable, right?
