Dustin & Sara
Entry to The Real Wedding Bridal Show
Their Story...
Comments The Proposal Dustin and Sara..... Dustin and I had been together for almost five years. From the moment I met Dustin I knew..." He was the one!" I used to always think that saying was so ridiculous...impossible. But that has definitely changed. From the moment we met, to this day I have never had one doubt about him. No one can understand how thankful I am to have him. We are completely opposite and that makes our relationship perfect. He's always there to calm me down, help me relax and enjoy the little things and I am always there to help him stay motivated, responsible, and look to the future. Around the time Dustin proposed I was starting to think he never would. We had talked about if for about two years and I always dropped hints. Every holiday, every birthday I looked for it to happen and it never did. It was about ten o'clock in the morning and there was a knock at the door. Being half asleep, I turned over and whispered to Dustin to go see who it was not knowing that just moments later the sweetest most exciting thing would happen. As Dustin returned to bed through sleepy eyes I asked him who it was at the door. He replied nonchalantly "no one." Smooth right? Taking his bait I laid on my back, adjusted my covers and began to close my eyes hoping to catch another few hours of sleep. That's when he cunningly removed my promise ring form the ring finger of my left hand and told me that if I didn't turn over on my side facing away from him I couldn't have it back! After minutes of laughing, playing, and pleading for my ring back I decided to surrender to his early morning teasing game and turned over. Cuddling from behind he kissed my shoulder and said "ok!" Before I took what I thought was my promise ring I had to do a double take. For a moment I literally thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me! Looking twice I saw a beautiful princess cut, white gold, solitaire diamond ring in his hand! Completely speechless, and completely surprised all I could do was laugh out of astonishment and finally cry out of pure happiness. Turning over I hugged him tight, and kissed him a hundred times. Jokingly through a big smile he asked if that was a yes? And of course it was. For the longest time I have dreamed and hoped for a beautiful, romantic wedding and now that we are finally engaged that dream has become unattainable. Because of the economy like most people, this year has been the toughest year financially for us. We are five and a half months away from our wedding date and we haven't been able to afford to get anything done since we have been living pay check to pay check. After all of the disappointment and stress that our situation had brought to have a dream wedding would mean so much to us that words cannot describe. I have been praying non stop for the past six months that we would be able to find a way to have a nice wedding to celebrate and express how much we love each other and how thankful we are to have each other. We have never hoped for anything more. We would be forever thankful to be given that opportunity. Sphere: Related Content
