Our Wedding

Lydia and Michael met while Lydia was waitressing at the Hilton Sandestin. Michael was there getting ready for a special event where he was dealing cards. After a few minutes of chatting they found out that Lydia was moving to Pensacola to attend the University of West Florida after the summer ended. Throughout the next few weeks they kept in touch and remained friends during her time at UWF.&nbsp;Lydia soon graduated college and moved back home to Destin. After many weeks they slowly started to talk more and more. Then both of them attended the FSU vs UF football game and realized they both liked each other. Michael invited Lydia to his work Christmas party and they blossomed as a couple ever since.&nbsp;Over the course of the year they had been dating they knew they were meant for each other. Over Thanksgiving Lydia and her family were headed to Orlando, her sister had a soccer tournament, and Michael had planned to come with. So Michael mustered up the courage and asked her dad for her hand in marriage. Meanwhile Lydia had no idea. On Thanksgiving day Zoe, Lydia and Michael all went to Disney World's Magic Kingdom. All day Michael kept talking about going back to a certain garden area, so finally we did. As we are sitting there eating ice-cream, Michael starts digging through the backpack we carried with us and he pulls out a ring box, and asks for my hand in marriage, my reaction... "ARE&nbsp;YOU&nbsp;SERIOUS?"&nbsp;His reaction... "Yes! (crying)" and I said yes of course I will marry you. We were so excited we left Disney to meet up with the rest of the family and being Thanksgiving went to celebrate at dinner but the only place open was Sizzlers (?)&nbsp;not recommended but it called for some laughs.&nbsp;
