Ok.. so my account just got activated about 20 minutes ago and I couldn't wait any longer to share my story and dive right into this new forum! I'm terribly sorry, I already know this is going to be a long post - no one has to read it all, it's just nice to chat... it's the perfect therapy!! So, having said that I'll launch right into my story!!

 

Aaron and I met when I was 14 years old on a teenage chat site (clearly all parental controls were unlocked!!) I think we started talking because we lived in the same province (we both live in Alberta, Canada but he lived a 9.5 hour drive away from me), but was coming to my city in a few months for a paintball tournament. We talked constantly, and I think it really got on my mom's nerves because I was taking over the only household computer for hours and hours each evening.

 

The time finally came that we were going to meet in person. We'd sent pictures, but I was still really nervous... and I was kind of afraid he was going to be a 52 year old pervert, so I made sure to bring friends lol. We got to the paintball tournament, and I saw him instantly and immediately regretted bringing friends because I just wanted to spend all my time with him!! That day couldn't have gone any faster, and before I knew it he was on his way back home the next day.

 

A few years past, we saw eachother as often as possible and when I turned 17 and graduated from high school I moved in with him. 5 1/2 years into the relationship he proposed!! My story is a little like Rebecca's in that we had the "commitment fight" a few nights beforehand. I was just upset because it'd been so long and we'd been "hint shopping" numerous times with no avail. He came up with some lame excuse like we couldn't afford it or something (which was moderately true - I had just gotten a new job etc).

 

On June 30th, 2006 we both worked (shift work - arg) and we got home super late, but he was in a really sweet, romantic mood. We were talking about the good old days and he brought out a box of memorabilia he'd kept throughout our relationship (pictures, e-mails, ticket stubs etc). I don't remember his exact words because once I figured out what was going on I started bawling, but he said something to the effect of "we've shared so many great memories, and I want to share so many more". Of course I said yes!!

 

Yay - I'm so happy!! So anyways, we thought we'd decided on St. Thomas USVI... but lately I've been thinking of Mexico. Has anyone had a wedding in St. Thomas? I'd love to hear feedback. I've seen so many great things about Mexico. Please feel free to weigh in, I'm going crazy over here!! Also, Aaron and I are completely laid back about the planning, and love creative, fun ideas - so I'd love to hear those too!!

 

Anyways, thanks for listening to my long story.

This is the first time I've read Courtney's engagement story and I have a couple of things to add. smile43.gif

 

First of all, I'm Courtney's mom and also her Matron of Honour.

 

Secondly, her dad and I actually didn't realize Courtney met Aaron online before the paintball tournament. I'd be second-guessing my parenting skills right now, except that she really is a dear person. We must have been doing something right, even if we were a little slack on the Internet parental controls.

 

Lastly, Courtney may not have known about Aaron's intent to propose until shortly after their committment argument, but we did. Many weeks before he proposed to Courtney, Aaron came to us and told us he was planning to propose. It was a very old-fashioned and touching moment - he asked for permission to marry Courtney.

 

Of course, we couldn't have been happier. They make a great couple.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
