Where to start... I am an RGV Bride

Now originally we had planned on a 2 year engagement, but in our hearts we knew we wanted to be husband and wife as quickly as possible while still having a "dream wedding." We knew this would be a hard task but together we can do anything! So first off choosing a date! Uh, let me just tell you if its in the year to come...this will be a difficult task. I had a long list of venues to look at ready to go, and a date in mind....Well we called a few outdoor venues asking if we could go scope out the place and gather some prices..."We're sorry you need to set up an appointment, I have one available in 4 weeks. How's that?" I was in disbelief, I have never planned a wedding nor witnessed a wedding being planned. I assumed I could just go look at the place. So venues were being scratched off as we called along because if I couldn't go see it I at least wanted to know if the date I had in mind was available, and nope so one by one they were getting scratched off. Then the last one on my list, Kalos Salon de Eventos, located in Mission, Texas was next. I was told over the phone, sure come on in we house 2 halls and you are more than welcome to come in and view them both. So we did.

The Engagment...

So my now husband-to-be Jake and I have been together for 6 years now. High school sweet hearts; inseparable since our junior year. He is everything you can ask for, caring, loving, strong, and always supportive. So when he proposed I took no time to think about it! I had known in my heart he was the one. 

Here is how it happened...

My family had all come over to have a BBQ, we ate, we laughed, shared stories, and more as we always do. When everyone finished their meals we gathered in the living room to watch a newly released movie on T.V. About 20 min into the movie the next commercial came on and I turned to my fiance so he could skip forward but when I looked at him I heard his voice coming from the T.V. at this point I knew something was going on...He said, "Excuse the interruption but I have a very important question for Brittney." I was shocked I knew what was coming, when I turned to face him again he was on his knee asking, "Will you marry me?" Without a pause I said YES!! My family rejoiced and congratulated us with hugs and kisses not to mention the flashing of their cameras taking pictures left and right of the two of us and the ring.

The next morning I awoke with thoughts of it all being a dream... but then I looked at my ring and smiled, it was real! It was official my journey to be the Future Mrs. Perez had just begun... 

 I love my ring!!
