After five years of dating...Shawn and I are finally getting married! I could not be more thrilled about the whole event. Let me explain...
I met Shawn when I was 18 years old. Straight out of high school and TOTALLY ready to make the hour and a half trip to college to begin my new adult life. I was still parting like crazy...and by parting I mean, smokin pot constantly and drinking every night...you know, normal 18 year old activities when we met. Lucky for me, he had his head on straight.
Shawn's 5 years older than me and today that doesn't seem to be a big deal. A 24 year old dating a 29 year old, but I can tell you at the time we started seeing each other, a 18 year old dating a 23 year old...YIKES. Though I have totally awesome parents I hid the relationship for awhile. When they found out it was no big deal though.
So anyways, for the longest time I just didn't feel like Shawn and I were meant to be together forever. We got along great, had a lot of things in common, we both hate to lose a fight...shit, we were made for each other, but at the age of 20 I was still pretty free and couldn't even picture myself as a married women. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Until that one day, that one minute...it was strange you know? It was like my eyes were just opened up and someone was screaming in my ear...."HELLO STUPID?! Are you serious? You're not going to bite when the bitin's good?!" And that was it.
It took 6 months for Shawn to get a ring and propose, he didn't have to think about it. Shit, who wouldn't want to marry me. HA!
Check out our engagement session....
