Finally the Bride!

Walking down the aisle 8 times as a bridesmaid, it's now finally my turn to grace the aisle as the blushing bride!

After 6 years, 3 months and 15 days (but who's counting?) Fred asked me to marry him on May 29th.
It was an incredibly beautiful day outside and Fred convinced me to take the bears for a walk at our favorite park. After 10 minutes into the walk Fred needed to stretch his legs out on the bench. I thought it was a bit strange, but went with it. Thinking it was only going to be a few minutes, I finally sat down realizing it was going to take him a bit longer. I just remember holding the dogs, blabbing away...turned away and as soon as I turned back to Fred, he was on his knee presenting me the most beautiful ring I've ever seen. With no warning he ask "Amy, will you marry me?". In complete shock and after a few choice words, I said "Of course I will!"

We finished our walk with no interruptions and enjoyed the moment. The rest of the night was spent making rounds telling our family and friends.

The wait was definitely worth it!

Here are a few pics from the big day. Excuse my desheveled hair and park attire.

Can't stop admiring my new ring!
