Paul and Mary Ann 9/26/09
Well I've been on OneWed for awhile so I figured I would start my journal, I'm not to sure where to start or what to say so here goes:
How we Met: My close friend just had her baby in January of 2008 and her brother was in the Army Reserves and was serving over in Iraq with the Army. Around March 30 he came home and my friend Bridget was having her son dedicated at church so they had a gathering after church for her son Landon and her brother Paul for a homecoming party. Anyways after church we went into the hall for the first time I finally met Bridget's brother Paul. So after that day we hung out with him and his family a little before he went back to Iraq. But before he went back we did say we should email each other. So we started emailing each other for about 8 months and it was real innocent a friendship started. So I did make the first move I asked him in an email if when he got back from Iraq if he would like to go out sometime just the two of us and he did say sure. So he came back from Iraq and was home for awhile and I didnt hear anything from him so of course I assumed nothing would become us. But after a month or so one night I received an email asking if I would like to go to a hockey game so of course I said yes....at first I wasnt sure if it was all of us or the 2 of us but it turned out just the two of us. Anyways we had a great first date October 27, 2007 and its been fabulous ever since. I felt I met my prince finally. Engagement: Well I've been impatient ever since we first talked about getting married. Now I'm sure everyone might not agree you should be dating much longer before you get married but I just feel he's the one and he feels the same. So he got tickets to go see Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals play in Boston on June 21, 2008. So of course he was teasing that's my Birthday present...So we went to Boston for the weekend from Friday June 20th till Sunday June 22nd. We had an awesome weekend, we went to the pier, we rode the train, we went to the game, had awesome pizza and then Sunday morning rode the train back into Government Center and went to the Aquarium and had a blast there, my children loved it as well as Paul and I. So we were leaving the Aquarium and Paul said oh lets go to the Pier and Marissa said oh please mom I want to get a picture. So off we go and Marissa found in the middle of the pier a circle made out of bricks so she says: Here Mom stand here and Paul says here Jacob take this bottle and I turned to help Jacob Paul's on the ground on his knee I turn around and he's asking me and slipping the ring on my finger. I was so happy I couldnt even speak I was so stunned bc he's been torturing me about proposing and I honestly had no idea he was going to do that there. So now its official!!!!!! As soon as I can I will post pics of my ring and I did get my wedding dress its on order will be in 6-8 weeks. We have alot of ideas already for the wedding. We want a fall/country wedding. I want to have Sunflowers/pumpkins/fall leaves/bales of hay/ for the reception hall. We're going to have our reception at a fire hall up in the country so we want to use the hay bales to make a walk way up to the door of the hall. Of course we have plenty of time. I will post ideas and projects as I get them done.

Also we are going to book the reception hall sometime this week or next....We have a meeting sometime in the later part of August with the Photographer and I have a call into the DJ and we already bought our Invitations that just need to be printed at home. I also bought my organza bags for the trail mix for my wedding favors.

That's an awsome story Mary Ann!! I'm looking forward to hearing all about your planning and everything! I can't view your dress or ring from work cuz the host site is blocked by our servers, but I'll try to look from home!

So in love with him
