We're getting married!

It was a summer night in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, warm and alive with excitement for some college students who got off work and planned to meet up at the bars. Blaze walked through the doors of the Pioneer and laid eyes upon a gorgeous blonde sitting at the bar with a few of his friends. It was Breanna, and little did Blaze know this would be the first time he got to see his future wife. Some would say it was love at first sight, they just didn't know it yet. Blaze - This girl was stunning, with blue eyes, daisy dukes and tan skin kissed from the Texas sun. I checked her out from the moment I laid eyes on her. Our friends introduced us but I was under the impression that she was on a date. Later I found out that she was not, so I did my best to play cool and not bombard her with cheesy one-liners. At one point I got up from the bar to use the restroom and when I looked back I caught her checking out my butt ;) I was pretty stoked. While in the bathroom I gave myself a pep talk and set forth to impress this amazing girl. We finished our drinks and moved on to the next few bars, small talking at this point. We found out we had so much in common, especially that we both had a desire for some wanderlust. After the bars we made our way to a party where the conversations got deeper. Breanna - Little did I know that I would meet my soul mate the night I went out for a friend's Birthday after work. Some of the group decided to leave, but a few of us decided to stay out. They kept telling me that this really cool guy named Blaze was coming out later that night. As we were having a few more drinks at the Pioneer, in walked Blaze Buccanero.. rocking his cut off shirt, ripped jeans, biker boots and a mohawk. Of course he caught my attention! As he walked in we made eye contact, a moment we both will never forget. The night went on and we continued to get to know each other and realized how much we enjoyed each other's company. Yes, this was love at first sight.

Fast forward 4.5 years from meeting at the Pioneer, with a move to Texas, raising two crazy dogs and much, much more we find ourselves in Isle Mujeres, Mexico. We had this trip planned with our good friends Sara, Zach, Neftali and Gianine. We were so excited to get away for a vacation and little did Breanna know that she would come home future Mrs. Buccanero. On the day of the proposal we rented a private catamaran. It was a perfect way to start the day. In between the catamaran and dinner is another story for another day (if you know, you know). That afternoon we had a fun dinner planned with coordinated outfits. Neftali and Gia left before the rest of us to go take "sunset pictures" (they were actually setting up for the big moment). As the rest of us got there the view was perfectly beautiful... so perfect Breanna hit Blaze playfully and said this would have been a perfect place to propose... little did she know that in a little over 100 yards that exact thing was going to happen. As we walked out on the dock there were candles leading the way with a red heart and rose petals at the end. This is when it sank in for both of us that this was really happening! Blaze got down on one knee and asked Breanna to marry him. It was a magical moment that neither of us will ever forget. After the proposal we popped champagne and then headed off to a celebratory dinner. This was a trip to remember! We cannot say thank you enough for their help on planning and keeping everything a secret. This moment closed the chapter of being boyfriend and girlfriend and opened the next as fiancés. Now we will be turning the page to a new chapter of becoming husband and wife. This will be another night to remember, celebrating with our loved ones! WE CANNOT WAIT!
