Our Wedding

On 12-13-14, I was finally asked the most important question in my whole life. The day started with my hair appointment. My hair stylist was in on the plan. She fixed my hair extra beautiful. I continued my day by coming over to Jeff's house because he wanted to make me breakfast. He bought fresh brown eggs which was out of the usual for him. We didn't have any plans that day so I kept making up things for us to do like go to eat sushi that night, not knowing what was coming my way. Jeff said for us to go for a hike so he took me up on the hill by his house. I was in a playful mood while we were walking up the hill and kept joking around. When we got up the hill, Jeff stopped walking turned to me and said, "I love you, will you marry me?" and got down on one knee. I was overcome with so many emotions and memories flying through my head of everything we have gone through together that I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Amy (Jeff's sister) was taking pictures of us secretly capturing such an important moment in both of our lives. After we walked down from the hill, we went to Jeff's house and to my surprise my parents Faith and Marcos, my sister Holly, Jeff's brother and his wife (Jason &amp; Lauren and their adorable kids) and Jeff's parents Joe and Ruth were all there to congratulate us. Jeff even bought champagne and appetizers for us to celebrate. After ten years of dating Jeff, finally becoming engaged to him was the most special experience in our relationship.

The Proposal by Heather

I sat behind Jeff in Spanish class when we were Freshmen at Ayala. He was very friendly. I only knew him as "Jefe." Throughout high school, he would wave hello to me even though we weren't close friends. I thought that was very kind of him.When we were going into Senior year in 2005, our friends, Jeff, and I went out to Huntington Beach to hang out at the beach. I didn't have any where to sit down in the sand and Jessica (my best friend and bridesmaid) mentioned that I should sit on Jeff's lap, he was sitting on an ice chest. I was quite embarrassed but he didn't mind so I sat on his lap. From then on, we hung out everyday together. We liked the same music and made each other laugh. He asked me to be his girlfriend on October 4, 2005. Eleven years later, we are getting married on that day!
