Love Story / Wedding Tag

I have been tagged to tell Eric and I love/wedding story. So here it goes.....




(A few pictures from when we were dating and a wedding picture)


WHERE DID YOU MEET YOUR HUSBAND? Eric and I met at the Beach. A guy I had been seeing asked me to come to a Family Home Evening at the Beach for the Riverside Singles Ward. So, I rounded up some girls and we went to the beach and low and behold my future husband was there.



WHAT WAS THE FIRST THING HE SAID TO YOU? He walked up to my friends and I at the beach and asked, "Are you girls new?" Then he proceeded to show us around and introduce us to some of the people there. He was so nice!! My friend thought he was cute, so I was her wing man and we talked with him.



WHEN WAS YOUR FIRST DATE? Well, 8 months after we initially met at the beach we finally had our first date. It took us a long time to get there, because first my friend liked him and then when that didn't work out we went back to BYU and I tried to set him up with my roommate. Finally it dawned on me that I LIKED HIM. Once he got the courage to ask me out he called on a sat morning and asked if I would go out that evening, but I already had a date that night so we went to lunch. He picked me up 30 minutes later. We went to the Pizza Place in Provo and if anyone knows me that was a good call on his part because pizza is my favorite food. We ordered a pizza and he ate half and I ate the other half. It was love at first pizza sharing!! That night I went on my other date that was already planned, but after that I never went out with another guy besides Eric, he was the one for me.



WHEN WAS YOUR FIRST KISS? About a week after our first date we were at his apartment watching a movie on his bean bag and then the magic struck. Boy was that bean bag a good investment!!! Eric swears I was the only one he kissed on that bean bag.



LONG/SHORT COURTSHIP/ENGAGEMENT? Serious dating starting in January, engaged in May, married in August. We had to do it all and get back to BYU before fall semester, so we did it Mormon Style. Plus Eric was such a good catch I couldn't pass him up.



WHERE DID YOU GET MARRIED? We got married on August 23, 2002 in the San Diego Temple. Best decision I have ever made! I love my Hubby!!!



WHERE DID YOU HONEYMOON? At a resort in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. It was fantastic!!

So cute! I love that you didn't realize that you liked him. If I remember correctly from our college year together, this is so totally typical of you and your wanting to please everyone so you let all the girls you know have a shot at him before you! Always a sweetheart! Loved it!
