Angel and Michael October 31, 2009 If you have any questions, or would like to contact me you can: page me on the Central Florida/P&E board or email me at BREAKDOWNSXNOTXBELLS at GMAIL dot COM -Like most knotties, I've been collecting pictures for a long time, so if I use one of yours and don't give you credit feel free to email me- Basic Info: Angel, 23/F/now residing in Melbourne, FL Michael, 22/M/Melbourne, FL We just moved into our new place! My E-ring Michael and I started talking about marriage pretty early into our relationship. He already knew that I like white gold, and that I am NOT a fan of diamonds. We are both in love with the color lime and peridot is my favorite stone. So one night we were both looking online for rings and I came across one that literally made me speechless. I immediately linked it to him via IM and he LOVED it.  7ct. Emerald Cut Peridot w/ 24 diamonds on the white gold band Proposal Story Ok so we drove to St. Pete for this AWESOME concert. While we were waiting outside the venue, some guy comes up in like and is like "Are any of you guys Mike?" and so FI walks to the back of venue with this guy and I was like UHHH ok? So he comes back NBD. So we get inside and the first two bands start playing (OFFICIALLY in love with Gwen Stacy, minus their religious views). Between White Chapel and (my fave band) The Acacia Strain, FI walks me super close to the stage and I can see them PERFECTLY. I was so stoked. So then after three songs, they take a little break and the vocalist (whom I have a HUGE crush on) says "We have a little something special going on today, can I get a lovely girl named Angel _____ to the stage please" and I was like "Uhhh WTF" and FI pushed me up onto stage. So then like a few seconds after being up there and being the most confused little girl ever, the vocalist was like "He has something to say to you" and FI gets up on stage, down on one knee with the mic and was like "Angel _____, will you marry me?"... and typical Angel response "FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!" The crowd started freaking out and cheering, the band high fived us and I was elated! While we were walking back through the crowd, EVERYONE stopped us to say congrats:)  STDs  WE FOUND OUR VENUE!!!!!!!! I'm in love with the orange gazebo <3 FRONT STREET CIVIC CENTER  Please Excuse FI acting like an idiot.  7 Benches on each side, 3 fit comfortably to a bench (I had FI do the measuring bc he is bigger than I am). So 42 seats, for 55 people. I will probably set up a blanket on the ground for the kids to sit on. Its just off the river! The view is really pretty!    Horrible interior pic with informal wedding set up. I will have chair covers and dark linens.   Attendants and Attire My Dress I know most of you are going to say "OMG" to my choice in color, but once you get to know me you'll see that I'm not one to wear white. There is also a Spanish tradition in which the bride wears black to show her devotion until death (which I think is AWESOME). I also think that you should feel beautiful in your dress, and wearing white would make me feel like a big Beluga Whale.   Princess by Dela-Jo #3998 (NOT ALTERED YET) Hemming obviously and changing the neckline to a "pinched" sweetheart and adding this brooch:  And these are my shoes!   My baby sister Gabbi :) I got her dress at Charlotte Russe for $5! The first one was the original we were looking at in DB for about $100. The second is the $5 one from Charlotte Russe. SUPER cute.
