Christian proposed to me at 12:12am on Wednesday, December 12, 2012. Christian and I had gone to see The Rockette's in New York City and when the show was over at 10pm, I was ready for bed {I blame my Mom for my inability to stay up past 9:30pm}. We went back to the hotel and I went to bed. I woke up to Christian kneeling beside the bed and I hate to say this, but I was still delirious so I don't really remember anything he said. He then showed me a slideshow of us together and asked me to marry him. I said "yes", called my mom and dad and sister, texted my brothers, and went back to bed. So 12/12/12 at 12:12am has been one of the most memorable moments of my life!
Here is the video Christian made for me:
We decided to get married in Shreveport, Louisiana since that is where Christian and I are both currently living. We had an beautiful outdoor wedding on April 27, 2013. We had over 140 guests from all parts of the United States and even a few guests from Belgium! We feel SO incredibly blessed to have such an amazing group of friends and family who came to be with us on our special day.
It's not until you spend 4 short months planning a wedding do you truly realize how amazing some of the people in your life are. I do not think I can ever tell my mom and sister how thankful I am for all their help and support, or my dad for his advice throughout the months and days leading up to the wedding and then on the wedding day itself. My sister has an amazing mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law who outdid themselves putting together all my floral arrangements. They came in 3 days before the wedding and worked every single day up to the wedding putting the arrangements together. I could go on and on listing all the wonderful things people did for me on my special day and I am so beyond thankful.
