My proposal was perfect. It was the day after we got back from Jamaica. We were supposed to have breakfast with my best friend and her boyfriend. However, when we got to the lake shore, they were sitting on a blanket by the grass. I, of course, was extremely annoyed at the time because I was so hungry. As we continued walking towards Tanya and Jeff, Tanya let this French Bulldog puppy free and Tony turns to me and says, “I love you…. this dog is for you.” I was in complete shock. I picked up the dog, Tony got down on one knee, and asks, “Will you marry me?” I started crying not only because he proposed to me, but also because a French Bulldog was my dream dog! We had been dating for 8 years, and I swear, in the first year of dating, I mentioned that my perfect proposal would just be a French Bulldog with the ring attached to the collar. 7 years later and he remembered. I just wished I was dressed nicer for the occasion!
About the Dress
My dress was absolutely beautiful. Everyone commented on how beautiful the dress was. The dress by Tara Keely was strapless, sweet heart, and princess looking. I can actually say that I looked like a princess. I was a little nervous to get a dress with tulle, but this dress just made it too special for me because a layer under the tulle had sparkles. As I would walk, you would just seen sparkles and I absolutely loved it! I had changed the belt on the dress because I wanted it to be more sparkly. After seeing the belt attached to the dress, I broke down in tears and that’s when I realized….. WOW. I am actually getting married.
About the Wedding
Married:
September 24, 2016 //
Location:
Mississauga, Ontario //
Venue:
Mississauga Convention Centre
We had so much fun at our wedding! Our color theme was mulberry, navy blue, silver, and lavender. We got married at St. Matthews Parish and it was a beautiful ceremony with our family and friends. Even family from Portugal came, so it made it much more special. Our reception took place at Mississauga Convention Centre. Everyone there made sure that everything was perfect. Although I explained to them how I wanted everything to look, I never imagined it to look the way it did. Food was delicious (even though we didn’t have time to eat much). Music was so fun (English and Portuguese Music). We even had Tropicana Queens come and perform, which everyone loved. We just loved sharing the day with all our friends and family.
