Me and Derrick:
Derrick and I met in 2006 through mutual friends. After hanging out for a while, we started "officially dating" May 28, 2006. I have always been the type of girl that would date someone and find some little thing about them that I didn't like so I could break up with them. I didn't like to stay with people very long. After a few months, I decided that it was time for me to break up with Derrick. After trying to find a reason to break up with him, I didn't have a real good reason, but I tried anyways. Well Derrick wouldn't allow that. So we kept dating! haha A few months later, I tried again. After about a year I realized that I should just stop trying to break up with him, because he wasnt going to let me and it was obvious that this is who God wanted me with. After dating for a little over two years, Derrick popped the question. He knew that I wanted to use my grandma's wedding band, so he somehow stole it out of my room, and had a ring made with that band. It was gorgeous!!
The Proposal:
He went to ask my dad for permission and my dad said he looked insanely nervous, but Derrick swears he wasn't. He asked Dad said he thought he was joking because he didn't think I liked Derrick. I just like to keep things to myself. So that night Derrick and I went to dinner and a move, say the Traveling Pants Two. haha And when we got back to derrick's house, he had candles and rose petals leading through his house to his back patio where he was waiting on his knee with the ring. i have never seen him look so nervous!
We picked a wedding date about three days later: May 30. That was the saturday after our three year anniversary. My folks dated three years before they got married. Our three year anniversary was May 28 and my folks wedding anniversary is May 29, so it just seemed perfect! That gave me about nine months to start planning the wedding. No problem at all! I was completely finished in about 5 months. I got my dress, made all my decorations and just had to wait for May 30 to roll around. The best part, I only spend $3000 on the whole wedding. I paid half and dad paid half. I have never wanted a wedding really, but I thought my folks wanted me to have one, so I did...and I wanted to do it simple and cheap and that is what I did and it was perfect!
The wedding was about 15 min long, which was almost too long for me! haha We then had a small reception at the fellowship center across from the church. And then off to South Padre for our honeymoon!
