Dream Wedding Giveaway: Shelby & Joe

We met at a club in East Lansing the summer after I graduated high school. I saw him there a couple times before I actually decided to talk to him. We kept smiling at each other from across the room and I walked over to him and asked him to dance with me. Of course he said yes ;) and we have been together ever since. We live together, both go to Grand Valley, and have 3 kitties together :D

We got engaged the day before his birthday, which was exactly a week before our 3 year anniversary. We were hanging out in Holland on the beach with his parents when it started thunder. We walked up the stairs to the deck overlooking the beach and I was wiping sand off my feet when he reached into his bag and pulled out the box. He opened it and asked me if I would make this the best birthday ever by agreeing to marry him. I waited a few seconds for him to actually kneel down, then said yes! I was speechless because I know I'm supposed to marry my best friend and now it's actually happening!! My ring is perfectly simple and the perfect size for my little hand. He had the diamond from my mom's old engagement ring from my dad into a diamond band. I love it!
