Hello future brides ( Chris and Nora too of course ). My name is Sara, my fiance Dan and I met back in highschool, he was nearing the end of his senior year and I was a sophomore. I remember he was working at starbucks and I had the BIGGEST crush on him. Needless to say I started studying at starbucks alot more often. I would act like a typical teenage girl and tell my friends how Dan the starbucks guy is just sooo cute! Come to find out we actually had several mutual friends, he's just one of those genuine guys that everyone likes because he is just so kind hearted. When we officially met I was heading to my art partners locker to drop off a project and guess who turned out to be his best friend and locker buddy...... sure enough it was Dan. After our first date I was so excited. We started as an exclusive couple the night of his prom (May 30, 2002). We all sat down to dinner when he asked me to check under his napkin to see if he had my coat check ticket in his wallet, when i lifted the napkin it was a little felt box, he bought me a beautiful past present and future pendant. How romantic for a highschool guy right?! We got enaged this past christmas eve, it was such a shock. We've always talked about marriage like it was inevitable, but I definately didnt see it coming! We host christmas eve dinner at our home every year since we bought our house, which was 4 years ago. We figured it was a nice tradition to start for when we have children so we dont have to juggle his family and mine. So the proposal was wonderful because it was in front of our loved ones. His mother actually recorded it. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DxC7ABE2Vdhs&h=5AQH_gHrR I actually hated the way I looked, been a long day of cleaning and just finished dinner but what the heck, I can share! It's hard to believe that we are approaching the 10 year mark of our relationship this upcoming May! We have large families and good amount of guests to attend a wedding so in order to keep my stress level wayyy down and to avoid a huge financial cost of a big wedding we are to be married February 23, 2013 in Riviera Maya at the Barcelo maya palace! We are going to have about 50 guests at the wedding, the planning is so fun and I love how laid back I am about everything. I am so excited to have the man of my dreams and cannot wait to marry my highschool sweetheart! I am truly the luckiest woman on the planet!
