Wedding Date on Sep 16, 2017

From The Bride: Mitch and I met 4 years ago through a mutual friend. We met when we went on vacation to Lake Havasu in Arizona with our friends and became friends. Mitch always tells me how he fell in love at first sight but waited for the right opportunity to tell me which was 2 years later. 2 years later, again at Lake Havasu, Mitch was trying to get my attention but I was oblivious to his attempts. 1 week later, while we were at our friends house, I finally saw something different in Mitch. He finally had his opportunity to tell me how he feels and took me on a date. It included a day at the beach, shopping, picking up his dog from the groomers and dinner at Orange Hill that has the best view of Orange County at night. After dinner he took me off-roading to look at the stars. All I could boast about was how it was so easy with him and we just "fit" each other perfectly. Between more dates and adventures, I finally understood what people told me about finding true love: When you know you know. I never understood this until Mitch. However, Mitch already knew how he felt about me since day one. On July 8th, 2016, we again were on vacation at Lake Havasu, Mitch had a surprise. He planned, with all our friends and family, to propose at the same exact spot where we met 3 years prior. Like a true gentleman, he asked my parents and brother for permission to marry me. He had everything planned including making sure we have pictures and videos of the proposal. It was everything I could have wanted. It was at the same exact spot we met, with the most amazing background and a complete surprise. About 6 months after being engaged we started to think about our wedding. On a trip to Temecula to go wine tasting we came across Peltzer Winery. We were not looking for a venue but there was something about this place that seemed right. We asked if they have weddings there and ended up getting a tour of the whole property. We fell in love with it and decided that was the perfect spot to get married. Peltzer already had many decorations we loved. It was outside, had the rustic vibe and many old trucks around the property. We incorporated unique ideas about us into the wedding such as shot gun shell boutonnieres, car springs and driving down on the bed of the truck. Once the wedding day came, it was perfect even if it went by too quick. We had a cookies and milk bar, my mom made our wedding cake and we had a line dance instructor. All we could think about was how much fun we had and how our wedding was amazing.
