Alise's Planning Bio
Welcome!
Welcome to my planning bio!
About us: My fiance, Justin and I will be getting married on January 2, 2010. We met in 2000 during my freshman year of high school because our swim teams shared the same pool. However, we didn't start dating until my junior year of high school. We then dated for six years before getting engaged, and could not wait any longer, and decided on an 8 month engagement!
The Proposal (April 19, 2009): Justin had surprised me with a cruise to the southern caribbean for our 6th anniversary. The cruise was a month after our anniversary, so I had lots of time to contemplate if he was going to propose or not, and our families were split on their ideas Some said, "dont you dare think its going to happen!" and others said, "of course it is!" By the time the cruise came around, I had convinced myself that the cruise would not be our engagement story, because he had already spend so much on the cruise itself. The first night of our cruise, we walked around exploring, and then came back to the room to open a lovely bottle of pinot noir. I was in the bathroom freshening up from a long day of traveling and was trying to make conversation, but he was making no sense! I think I remember saying "you can't even feel the movement of the boat!" and he replied, "thats what happens when youre on an airplane" What?? So I came out of the bathroom, we opened the bottle of wine, and he started saying really sweet things about wanting us to be together forever. I figured he was being sweet because it was our first real vacation together, and then I noticed that one of his hands was behind his back. Now, anyone who has gone on a cruise knows that there are mirrors EVERYWHERE, and I would not allow myself to look in the mirror behind him, afraid I would be dissapointed. Next thing I knew, he was getting down on one knee and asked me to marry him!!! Of course I said YES!! and the rest is history!
