My Fiance, Andrew and I met 4 years ago and have been dating for almost 4 years. In october will be our 4 year "dating anniversary" :) We met at our church during at outreach for our youth group. He was playing in the band that night. We ended up going to the same small group in high school and really grew to enjoy each others company and really grew in our conversations over time. We started dating about 2 months after we met. ! Andrew and I got engaged on March 15, 2007.

Andrew and I actually won a $10,000 wedding giveaway that covered A LOT of our big expenses for the wedding and the Lord extremely blessed us with much even on top of that. We actually felt he Lord leading us to enter this contest before we were engaged. And i tell you what the Lord is so faithful! We won the contest and this was confirmation that we were supposed to go ahead with our marriage. :) in which we were both ecstatic about :) He officially proposed a little over 2 weeks after we won the contest. He took me to a beautiful park called Sequiota in Springfield and he had me walk to a park bench by myself in front of the pond with geese walking all around and the wind blowing in the trees. He had me sit with my eyes closed and he came back with his guitar and sang me a proposal song that he had rewritten off of one of our favorite songs. It's off the movie Shall We Dance it's called Book of Love. It will definately be a big part of our wedding !. Can't Wait :) I've never ever ever ever seen him mess up or not be able to find a chord on the guitar and he was so nervous and emotional haha :) that it took him a few times to find the starting chord .. sooo funny and cute :) Then he got down on one knee and pulled out my ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS ring!!.. i love it and he picked it out all on his own.. way more than i ever asked for :) and the story goes on .. We both jumped up and gave each other a romantic kiss :) and a long hug!!.
