Dream Wedding Giveaway: Megan & Jeff


Jeff and I met in the 8th grade, and attended high school together.  He fondly recalls sitting behind me in Physics class and jokes that he should have asked me out then, but we spent those years as friends.  We lost touch during college and both got married to other people.  Time passed, we both began families and then found ourselves single again.  Jeff reached out to me via FaceBook and asked me out for dinner.  We had our first date late last year, rekindled an old friendship, quickly fell in love, and never looked back.  Our common interests, similar background and upbringing, love of family, and goofy senses of humor paved the way for a wonderful relationship.

Jeff and I discussed marriage at length, shopped for rings, and eventually decided on a December engagement.  We planned a trip to Traverse City to visit an aunt, and last Friday afternoon, we headed North.  We decided to stop at Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive on the way, as Jeff had never been there.  As we got closer, Jeff started acting a bit odd, driving erratically, grumbling about 'Having to race the rotation of the Earth in order to catch the sunset'.  I assured him that we could hit the trail the next day, but he insisted we get up there Friday night.  Needless to say, we made it.  We climbed to the top of the very cold, wind-swept dune to see a brilliant autumn sunset breaking through the clouds.  It was there that Jeff surprised me with a proposal on one knee and a gorgeous ring in hand.  I've never been happier and the timing was perfect.

Jeff is truly my best friend, I cannot imagine my life without him.  We've formed a wonderful family together with my children and his, as well as our extended families.  I can't wait to make it 'official', hopefully in June of next year.

  1. Thanks for post I like it me also share with you some tips hope Finally, it is the choice of what food and drink to serve to the masses which can really make or break the whole event. For example, serving up beer and soda to the company picnic crowd may well be what is needed. But try serving this up to potential clients or executive types and things may not look so rosy. Even fine wines and cheeses may not be acceptable for a casual day out so take time to discuss this with the expert before deciding on the menu.Spit Roast Catering Newcastle
