As a little girl I always dreamt about my wedding day and how it would all play out. I changed my mind several times about colors, floral arrangements, what my cake would look like, the dress, etc. I can honestly say that, through all the planning and details, my wedding day was the most amazing day of my life.
A little over a year ago, Andrew, decided that he couldn't live the rest of his life without me in it. We started to go ring shopping and looking around. He wanted to make sure he knew exactly what I wanted, ring, size, shape...everything. He knew he only had one shot at this and it had to be perfect. So he did his research, found out what I wanted and made the plan to get the perfect ring. He actually flew all the way to Daytona Beach, Florida to make the purchase. He says he got a good deal, and if I know him….he did!
After his trip, I knew why he went – by the way…he started making plans on how/when to pop the question. It took a couple weeks, and this was long enough to throw me slightly off scent.
One Saturday, March 24, 2007, he decided….THIS is the day. Little did I know what was about to happen. He asked me after dinner if I wanted to revisit a place we had been before. Not thinking anything of it, I agreed and off we were. We were heading downtown to Fountain Place. It’s a building downtown that is surrounded by waterfall gardens, water cannons, beautiful lights and trees, with park benches. It’s a beautiful, quiet romantic spot. We walked around holding hands, admiring the scenery around us and I could tell he started to get a little nervous. I even asked him…. “Why are you looking at me all googly eyed?” Then it started to sink in. My heart started pounding, I was having trouble breathing…aww how cute were we? Then he picked a little park bench and we sat. He looked into my eyes and told me exactly how he felt about me and that he couldn’t spend the rest of his life without me in it. He proceeded to get down on one knee in front of me, I am like freaking out inside right now. He says to me… “I want you to be my wife, will you marry me?” My answer?! “Of COURSE, I will marry you!”
The next moments were filled with laughter, tears, calling family and friends and lot’s of kisses and hugs. The next 13 months were filled with planning, shopping, picking out a church and reception venue. It was really my own little fairy tale coming true.
The month before the wedding was crunch time. Getting all the final details worked out, making sure all the vendors were in place and ready to go and getting family in town and situated and ready for the big day.
The day of the rehearsal is finally here, April 18, 2008. It seems like I have been waiting forever for the next 48 hours, and they have finally arrived. We had a fun-filled day of shopping and getting the final details put together. Everything was in place and it’s a reality now. The rehearsal was a lot of fun. We finally got to meet Mnsgr. Duesman, who would be marrying us and he was so much fun.
The rehearsal dinner was at Spring Creek BBQ, Drew’s Dad’s favorite restaurant and it really was a great time, good food, too. After the practice and the great meal it was only a matter of time before the big day was here.
I remember waking up that morning and I was so filled with emotion and so excited I could barely stand it. The day got off to a funny start because I tried to call Andrew on my cell phone and realized our phones got shut off, because he forgot to pay the bill, haha. After some calling from other phones and reaching him, I told him to pay the bill so we can chat with each other. No worries though, this little mishap didn’t set the tone for the day.
The day was a whirlwind to me looking back. Great memories, smiling, laughing, crying…it truly was the best day of my life. I became Mrs. Andrew Weil and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. I only wish I could go back in time and relive it over and over again. It was a perfect day, nothing went wrong and it was all beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for a better day, better friends and family to be surrounded with and an amazing husband to marry.
I am truly thankful for all that I have and the memories that have been created over the last couple of years and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for our future.
With love,
