INTRODUCTION
 

Hi !
My name is Brianna and I am eager to share my special story with you.  I have had an amazing ride, leading up to and throughout my wedding. At first it was a bit of a rollercoaster but after a while it became more of a carousel.  I had my ups and downs but I began to sail through them gently because I had help.  The support was invaluable, making the experience informative, exciting … And fun.

I hope you enjoy my journey as much as I have and that it inspires you for your requirements ...

FOUNDATION - HOW WE MET
 
I always heard the statistics that most people meet their partners at work and I didn't really put much belief in it; I certainly didn’t think it would happen to me as I had an active social life and loved to travel.  However, yes I met Alex at work.  It was a simple meeting and at the time I didn’t even think of him in any other light than that of a colleague, but Andrea, my co-worker and friend, said she noticed a connection between us.  At the time I laughed it off as girl talk.
 
As usual Andrea was right … slowly as time went by I noticed that Alex and I got on very well and in fact made an amazing team. 

It was at the office awards function that he asked me out.  I was glad at the opportunity to get to know him outside of the work environment; we had already accomplished so much together for the architectural firm we worked for, I was keen to see how far we could go as friends and maybe even a couple.
 

That was the first of many dates and as our friendship grew so did love and we soon became a regular couple. 

We enjoyed social times together and participated in many fun activities, including my fondness of travel of which I found that Alex also enjoyed.

To be honest, the relationship was so fulfilling that I was often content  to just relax in his arms in front of the TV, in the knowledge that I was safe and loved.

THE PROPOSAL
Nine months later, Alex invited me to a very special evening; he didn’t tell me what he was planning so it all came as a complete surprise.  He started to express his feelings for his future and went on to say how incomplete it would be without me ... He asked me to be his wife.  

However I could have imagined such a moment it did not match with reality … I felt enchanted and so very special … I was given the gift of love with commitment.

We were now officially engaged and I felt an intense happiness, full of anticipation and light for a bright, satisfying future with the one I love. 

After the initial congratulations were over we had a lot of decisions to make – what type of wedding? When? What budget? Plus more issues. 

As a tribute to our liking of travel we decided to be adventurous and have a destination wedding.  Our friends were very supportive and saw this as an opportunity to travel themselves, so were eager to attend.

At this stage we hadn’t decided on a location yet but we knew we wanted somewhere hot and tropical.
