It all started from "Truth or Dare"

[loveatfirstphp]

I can't believe that after 4 1/2 years of going out that we finally have a wedding date set. We only knew each other for 3 days before he asked me to be his girlfriend in Highschool. Then from there things have been wonderful ever since. I was at school and just happened to see him one day and was so interested in him. I thought I had known him from somewhere but I didn't. During class a group and friends and I were playing a game of truth or dare, and someone asked me, "Who do you like?". I thought to myself. I liked a few guys whom I had known for years, but asked them all out and they turned me down. I had to answer them, so I asked them what the name of the guy was that I had seen that morning at school. They told me it was Leo. So I looked back at them and said, "...then I like Leo". They all looked at me shocked. I had just admitted to liking a guy I didn't even know. I had only seen him once. They informed me that he was single and they would set me up with him.
I thought this would go nowhere. So I went on and forgot about it. Then, one morning I met up with my group of friends again for a meeting (we were in a school club) and to my surprise when I walked into the meeting. standing there was Leo. I was shocked and embarresed. They introduced me to him and him to me. I had so much trouble containing my excitement. As soon as the meeting ended I rushed out of the room and headed for my next class. My friends followed after me and I pursued to ask them, why they had invited him. They said that they had talked to him and he wanted to know who this girl was that liked him. Then they gave me his phone number and told me to call him, and they gave him my phone number. We were both shy so neither one of us called each other.
So then one week later after school they had Leo and I meet them outside and they left the two of us there to talk to each other. It was weird. We clicked, completely. We talked for hours. He called me that night and I talked to him all night and the next day and the next. Then on the third day he asked me out over the phone. I thought to myself, what do I have to loose. I might have only met this guy, but he is hot and very sweet. So I said yes.
We have been inseperable since then. We attend college together and are majoring in the same field. We will be getting married July 30th, 2005, 5 years after we met.
It was so weird how everything fell into place. There were so many factors that took place that could have changed everything.
I can't believe I found the perfect match for me. He is so sweet and caring and very different from most guys. He and I consider one another best friends and we believe that you should consider your partner your best friend. I really hope eveyone out there finds their bestfriend to marry as I have. :)

So now that we are planning our wedding is so exciting. Everything I do reminds me that I'm one step closer to becoming one with my "best friend". He is so sweet. And I think that I'm very lucky. So far we have the church picked out, the receptions site, the photographer, and the DJ. We still have a lot of planning to do but i believe that we will have mostly eveything planned soon. Even with all the planning it is fun and exciting. We only have a little over 8 months left. It will probably be here before we know it.

I can't believe our wedding is in less that fours months away. It gets more exciting with every plan that we finalize such as the catering, the photographer, and the new place that we plan to spend the first few years of our life together in. He and I have had to go through a lot of permarital seminars as a requirment for both of our churches and it is good to know that we didn't learn a thing, we just reassured everything about one another. By our wedding dte we will have been dating for a little over 5 years. It seems like a long time but I have enjoyed every minute of it. The more time we spend together now makes me excited to spend it with him when we are married. I wish everyone luck and happiness in their marriages.

I would have never thought that I would be so happy to be finished planning our wedding. We have a little over two months left and I'm going crazy trying to get everything in and get everything finished but I finally realized that it really doesn't matter if everthing isn't perfect because it will still be memorable to us and we will still be getting married July 30th even if everything doesn't fit together. I can't wait until the wedding day when i can enjoy all the planning that I have been doing for nearly two years.

I had just finished reading your journal and then I clicked on "reply" and couldn't get back on, but i'm back :)

I think it's such a sweet romantic, cute story about truth or dare. You actually brought feeling of my youth back that I havent felt in a looooong time. Especially the part when I read you walked into the library and you saw him standing there and you were a little embarassed, that is too cute. :)

Thanks very much! I'm going to start adding a few pictures to our journal. I have a little more time now that I'm out of school for the summer.

I won the veil on ebay for a really good price. I am going to add australian crystals to it myself. I love to make things so I have found a lot of stuff to be creative on. I also won my tiara on ebay. I think it is really pretty and I think it is a nice additon to my dress.

I think both your tiara and veil look very nice. I also won my tiara on ebay...I have seen the same tiaras in bridal stores for more than 10x the price!

Thanks!

I finally got the chance to add pictures of my dress. I love my dress. It was actually the second one I tried on and none of the other compared to this one. It reflects my personality very much.

[NYjerseygirl]

Your dress is very pretty, I like the back especially :)

Thanks. That is my favorite part of the dress. That was the main reason that I picked it.

I'm not sure how many of you responded to my thread that was deleted earlier but I though those of you who did would be interested to know that our wedding has been called off. Too much stress and to much going on. I have been going through the biggest change in my life right now. I guess Leo just wasn't the right person for me and wasn't right for him. It was best to call it off with all the doubts that I was having in my mind. Maybe someday I will regain the strength to go through with a wedding again. Thanks to all those who gave me advice. Contrary to what it looked like I really was listening. I took some of your guys advice and decided to take time to myself and give myself some time from guys. Thanks to all!

Oh, sweetie I'm sorry. But it sounds like you know it was the right thing to do. Everything happens for a reason so maybe it was a blessing in disquise and will save you alot of heartache later. I must have missed your post that got deleted because I don't know what happen, but I wish you the best of luck.

I feel for you. I know how hard that must have been. I am glad you took some of the advice and are taking time for yourself. You will be better for it. Just remember, no need to rush things. What is meant to be is meant to be.

Weren't you the one who started the thread with all the drama that marcia figured out was bull? Weren't you like three or four people in one? Well, I am glad you've managed to make this particular personality you've named rose happy. I hope one day you meet someone who can please and keep eachone of you entertained. Good luck to you.

[Vixen]

that would be the one.

Oh, that must me why I missed the thread! I missed all the Rose, Joect, and other personalities drama! I was so confused by who this was when I saw her post but felt sorry for her. Man was I taken for a fool! People are crazy......

Yep that was my thread that I started. As sad as it may seem that was all real. Every word of what I said was true. Nothing was made up.

Sorry, I missed the thread so I have no idea what went down, but if it is all true I am sorry. I missed all of that, so all I see is people talking about you being three or four people or something like that. I missed it so I really don't know.

It is so weird how things work out in life. A few years ago I was the happiest person in the world to have Leo and thinking about our future life together but over time things just started to deteriorate. I found the things that I once thought were cute to be annoying, I found that I was trying to work to hard to enjoy myself. I paid for the entire wedding so when I broke it off three weeks before the wedding was to take place I was left with a empty wallet and no future husband and he was left without a future wife. It's weird how things work out. Our wedding was to take place July 30th, 2005, in 4 days, but two months ago I met someone who I feel complements me in every way. We get a long so well and everything seems like the way I wanted it to be with Leo, but I could never feel it. I feel it with Joe. Leo is a wonderful guy, but I just don't think that I could love him the way that he should have been loved. I broke his heart by breaking off the engagement as well as my own heart but I feel that it was the right thing to do for both me and him. I would rather figure things out before taking the big step. Since then I have grown closer to Joe. He and I enjoy one anothers company and we love to hang out at the same places, we enjoy similar activities. We help one another when the other is down. After being with someone for 5 years and two months you think that you are ready and that everything will turn out for the best but it isn't until that last minute that I realized that it just wasn't going to work for us. This is the end of this journal. I will soon be starting another one. Hopefully the next one will end in "happliy ever after"! ;)
