I am a little over 1 week away from being 21 and will be married at 22!
As of Feb 18th 2012 at 7:55 p.m. my boyfriend became my Fiance. Initially we met on a networking site: He wanted to do advertising and I had friends who would benefit from it. We exchanged numbers and emails and over the winter break, while visiting his sister in my hometown we ran into each other. After knowing each other a month I joked around with him about eloping not thinking too much of it, but it planted a seed in both our minds and another month later he placed a beautiful ring on my finger. Initially we were going to keep it a secret. Neither of us had met each others family (besides the one incident when we first met face to face and ran into my mother at the mall), I hadn't really told any of my friends about him and he lived 2hrs away. But as soon as that ring was placed on my finger I wanted the world to know. He met my mom and dad earlier that day,and after the engagement I asked them how they felt about it all and my dad said he was just happy for me and my mom (for the first time in ever) was speechless. The only ones who don't know are my grandparents (whom I am currently living with). We have set the date for May 5, 2013 which I figure is plenty of time specially since we have school and him moving here to my hometown over the summer to deal with first.
I never thought I'd know exactly who I'd want to marry so easily, I fell for him very quickly and same went for him. I am completly excited not so much for the wedding rather to be his wife. I figure the wedding thing is just a way to celebrate with my family (being that Im actually very family orientated). I just look forward to learning more about him and exploring and backpacking the world together.
IDK about love at first sight but when you love someone it definitly hits you hard.
