It's all happening!

We first met when we we were both working at my old school. We were not friends but we were kind and polite to each other. In 2016 I had been dating online and I had had enough and was about to give up. Manny sent me a message that said “hi my name is Manny how are you?” and we had our first date about a month later. Both of us wanted to take it slow and we had our first kiss under the fireworks another month llater at Café Lido on New Years Eve. It was a magical night and one I’ll never forget. We decided to be exclusive and have been together ever since.

We love date night 💕🌹so Manny took me out to a lovely dinner at Harry’s steakhouse and insisted we go for a drive. He took me back to Cafè Lido and we watched the waves crash on the beach for a bit. He asked me to close my eyes and because it was close to Valentines I really thought I was receiving a Pandora bracelet....but when I opened my eyes Manny was down on one knee with a ring in his hands!! Of course all I could do was giggle....but when he asked I immediately said yes! I found out later that my groom had asked my parents for my hand before proposing! How sweet is that?🥰

The bride will receive pieces of her bouquet from several women as she journeys down the aisle, escorted by her father. This poem describes what these ladies mean to the bride. You're my angel in disguise You read my soul with your eyes Your spirit has entered my heart And it's my hope we never part For you are so special to me, Without you, my heart would weep bitterly. You're my angel in disguise Your love comforts my cries At night you guide me through the strife And it is for that, my dear angel, I owe you my life. Ruth Warren
