IT JUST GOT REAL!!

They do say when you find love, its when you least expect it, and never when you are looking. Love really was the last thing I was looking for when I met Sidney at brunch with some friends. We talked a few days after brunch and didn’t really stop after that. Our early romance was a whirlwind, but I’m so thankful we both held on and built the life we have today. I can’t wait to see where marriage takes us. -A I remember being excited to go to brunch with a few friends and meet a new possible friend. I was sitting in the back seat and Alyse jumped in. She was so sick, like practically dying! I was so grossed out by this germy individual. Who would have ever thought after that we’d never stop talking. Honestly though, thats exactly how it went. How fast I fell in love with Alyse blew my mind. I knew within a few weeks I was never letting her go. I am so excited to dive into our next chapter. Bring on our next adventure! -S

California here we come. Sidney had no idea what was going on most of the week. I flew us out to California for what she thought was just a celebration of our one year anniversary. After a week full of surprises we spent our last day at Disneyland. I rushed us right to the castle. I was so nervous I forgot my whole speech. I just dropped to one knee and opened a little black box. After overcoming the surprise, Sidney said yes and we spent the rest of the day at the happiest place on earth. -A It was just supposed to be a surpise vacation. Alyse and I had talked about marrage quite a few times. All I can say is, according to Alyse, it was not in the cards. I had completely deleted the thought of marriage from my mind! The vacation was coming to an end; we were at the beach where I was given my last clue for our final day of the vacation surprise. I unwrapped my adorable Minnie ears and knew we were off to Disneyland in the morning. Joking I said, “You better not ask me to marry you at Disneyland.” Little did I know.... -S
