Mr. & Mrs. Romero to be!
So can you tell the difference in these two pictures? Well, we are dressed differently, we are groomed differently, and if you said “beth is wearing an engagement ring” you guessed it. YUP! I asked Beth to marry me on Wednsday night and she said yes.
Beth and I have been dating on-and-off for about seven years and during that time we have had many opportunities to practice patience, trust, talking, listening, caring, being upset, laughing, smiling, being quiet and listening to God. We are almost avarage at some of them. We are good at others, and we need a lot of help on some. Still we are very excited to spend our lives together.
So now the engagement stats:
- When: Wednsday August 16th, 2006
- Where: Manhattan Beach
- Was I nerveous: Yes! - (i’d like to hear if this is true of other couples, were you nerveous when you asked?)
- What we ate before: Wienerschnitzel - Corn Dog, Fries, Ice Cream Sunday and a Coke.
- What we ate after: Donuts
- When is the wedding: June 30th, 2007
- Will I get an invite: yes — but we need your snail-mail address please.
- Where is the wedding taking place: We don’t know yet.
So as we get ready to join the ranks of married couples we realize how new we are at this and so we welcome the advice and prayers from all our married friends and family (if you are not married we welcome your advice and prayers too).
Congratulations and may God bless you both!!
Marty, the older you get the more you look like Mr. Miagi!
Great post honey. I wasn’t nervous before. Just happy. And even happier after. (It was a great engagement donut.) And for those who don’t know the strangeness of us yet, I still have the coke up and plan to keep it. I wish is still had the corn dog stick…
What a beautiful post, Marty. And what a beautiful couple!!! Mercy is still talking about Bethie’s “special ring”.
Congrads. the only thing i can tell you both is “communication is the key to a good marriage” no matter how much it hurts. good luck in your journey.
Congratulations guys! I knew you guys were meant to be together. You make a great couple.We wish you the best!!!
Thank you for your thoughts and wishes. I’m looking forward to branding the wedding so look out for the wedding invite once we get things figured out.
