Excerpts Of Wedding And Proposal Stories

.

By Wendy Stoller

The day it self was amazing - as I walked down the weaving aisle "it feels like home" played through the sunflowers, I knew that this was the man I'd been waiting for my whole life. We had our photos taken at places that mean something to us - "the sunflowers" - Trent planted them just for me. "The Beach" - Trent proposed on that very beach, "The old Hut" - Trent's family built the hut, "The harvester" - Trent's pride and joy, "Anderson's lane" - Our surname.

It wasn't the most romantic meeting , but we were introduced through friends and the rest they say is history. After being together for 6 years, we both decided to make it official, we went shopping for my ring and found something we both liked!! Then he surprised me with it a few months later one afternoon.

Josh and I first met in 2000 through my friend (his sister). He was extremely quiet and we hardly spoke. Later in 2003 our relationship grew so much that we started dating on the 21st December. In the next 3 years we became best of friends, we would do anything for each other. He finally built up the courage to ask my dad out for coffee so he could ask his permission to marry me. My dad gladly approved.

We had a very casual ceremony on the pier as the sun was coming up. It was magical. Our wedding reception was held at the Full Moon Hotel, Sandgate Queensland. We had a buffet breakfast and could not have asked any more of the staff. They were wonderful and made sure everything was perfect.

I only had ten months to organize the wedding and I had to be well organized living so far away. The True Bride website and the Internet were excellent tools for locating suppliers. My mum and my 2 beautiful bridesmaids were an excellent help. Everything just seemed to fall into place. My bridemaids organized a girly weekend away in Gracetown, Western Australia the weekend prior to the wedding, full of massages, yoga and winery tours (I would highly recommend it, I was so relaxed on the big day).

We then had six to seven months to arrange our wedding and wow what a wedding it was. We had four ceremonies and two receptions. Two ceremonies were in Persia in August 2007, it was amazing. We held the reception at our own house where we hosted 200 people with the help of a professional catering and party planning company. The entire house and garden were glowing with lights. We walked across the red carpet to reach the guest's and went straight on the dance floor ... even though I thought I wouldn't be able to dance because of my dress but I was so happy that nothing could stop me, we danced for the entire night and still around 3 am I had lots of energy and could have gone for marathon run. - 20763
