I’m very much a private person, but I just had to share our little proposal story :)

Last year, back in February, B & I went to Palm Springs to visit and attend HITCHED (a wedding showcase full of awesomeness!). I fell in love with the atmosphere and the overflow of crazy talented industry peeps (photographers, designers, everything!) – It’s kind of like a bridal bazaar but on a whole ‘nother level. We had a great time to say the least. Amazing location (The Ace Hotel), fun food (tamales from a cart, anyone?), and the most unique wedding décor on this planet! With that being said, I was itching to go again…

Summer finally rolls around and they announced their new location & a BRAND NEW NAME. The Cream Event was coming to Austin, TX in January 2012! I didn’t think twice. I wanted to go. B was excited, too. We both love to travel & after hearing so many great things about Austin, I mentally ingrained this upcoming trip into my head. As the months flew by, I started to think of our impending trip (looking at flights, hotels, etc.) Brendon on the other hand had a change of heart. WTF!?@#$@!#$– And so I begged, pleaded and told him I’d pay for EVERYTHING! But he did not budge one bit. That son of a… :(

And so the hopes of Austin, Texas and attending The Cream event vanished before my very eyes…

Fast forward to Christmas Eve – B wakes me up at approximately 6:21am. “I know you’re going to hate me and all… but you’re gonna have to trust me.” He then leads me to our living room. Waiting for me on the couch was a box. An early Christmas present? Oh, you know it! Upon opening the box, I was greeted with tickets to THE CREAM EVENT in Austin, ALL PAID FOR FLIGHTS & HOTEL RESERVATIONS. Ok, seriously? I totally scored on the best guy ever!!

“This year is going to be better than last year…” He says.

“Why’s that?”

“Because last year we went as boyfriend and girlfriend…”

Right then and there I knew what he was trying to say. He pursued to get down on one knee (this part I don’t even remember because I was crying hysterically). He said some mumbo jumbo how he wants to marry me (kidding)… And after freaking out, I somehow managed to say “YES!”

It was the greatest Christmas present a girl could as for – Whatta guy :)

With that being said, we’re flying to Austin tomorrow AM to attend THE CREAM EVENT on Sunday! We have a list full of adventures to partake in (BBQ galore, sightseeing, and absorbing as much wedding ideas as possible). So brace yourself for ample amounts of goodies on the blog upon my return.

Be good everyone! Stay dry California!
