The Proposal...

 I am engaged!

So here is the story:

October 9th 2012. He tricked me into thinking that we were going to dinner after his work to celebrate a work related achievement and of course I was quick to support him and congratulate him,  dinner at his favorite restaurant sounded like a good treat for it.

He picked me up at my house to go to dinner, he seemed so calm and playful, like any other day. He suggested we go to "our" spot in La Jolla cove to see the sunset before dinner, a bench with an oceanfront view, of course I thought it was a great idea... so we did. We were there just hanging out and talking about everyday things, and he seemed a bit distracted. 

Sidenote: he had mentioned he had a surprise for me and hinted that it was something you hang on your wall once a year... I obviously thought it was a calendar.

Then he said, "Hey you forgot about the surprise I have for you, don't you want it?" and I remembered the calendar hint, so he took out from his trunk an Apple envelope containing a calendar. We walked a bit to get closer to the edge (first picture), and he took out the calendar... a 2013 calendar with pictures of us and dating all of our first time events, like first time at Disneyland, trips, etc. I thought it was so sweet and it must've taken him quite some time to create.

We then reached the date of that day, October 9th, and it said "You became my fiancée (2012)", I was speechless!!! Then I look over to him, he was next to me, and he is getting down on one knee and taking out a ring box out of his jacket! He then asked very nervously if I would marry him and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and all that personal sweet words.

Of course I said YES! 

I was in shock, I've known I wanted to marry this man for quite a while, 

but didn't expect the proposal that day or anytime that soon. 

We then went to dinner to George's at the Cove, just us two, and after to Herringbone for drinks to meet our families and friends that were already there waiting for us. He arranged everything! Sweet sweet man ;) I am a lucky girl and the happiest I have ever been.  

We are in the middle of planning our wedding, which will be in August 2013.

I can't wait to live and share my life with Daniel.

Viva Las Vegas update...

Happy Friday everyone!

Just got back from Las Vegas last night and oh so tired! 

I had a blast at the Wedding MBA, updated myself about the Wedding industry and met some nice people. I also took advantage and strolled around Vegas for some after 10 hours of convention daily dose fun. 

Also while in Vegas, the Missoni madness was going on... But! right after I got out of the convention at 6pm that day, I head over the closest Target and of course almost everything was sold out, except they still had some flats in big toddler sizes (moments like this is when I thank God for being short and having small feet) :) I will still try to hunt down find other items of the fabulous collection.

Enjoy the pics!

We had a booth for our family house (now Wedding Venue or rental)

Hello weekend readers!

As you know by now, I am interning with a local San Diego Wedding Planner and I am loving every bit piece of it. Here are some pics of Liz Beck Events's work, the ones I have participated in so far.

As I am learning about the wedding and event planning world, I am learning my strengths and the areas which I feel most comfortable doing so. I have found out that my favorite part of the "show" would be the set-up. I am a very organized person and a control freak (I admit it). So therefor I really, really enjoy setting up for the big day and going over the details that need to be corrected and perfected, if possible.

Sorry for the, not so great, pictures. I only had my iPhone with me at the time.

I promise to take my camera for future events. 

Enjoy your weekend!
