This was the best weekend ever! We had so much fun and definitely got our minds off of the contest! Friday night, Patrick and I went to a very nice dinner at one of our favorite places in Mission Viejo, Antonucci's. The food there is soooo good! Then Patrick's friend Dennis came over to my sisters house that we took over for the weekend an hung out. On Saturday, Patrick and I went to the pool and relaxed for a few hours, then went to dinner with our friends Lindsay, Lauren, and Keith. After dinner we hung out at Kelle's house.There is never a dull moment when we all get together. It was so much fun! Sunday we went to Brunch at Woody's in Newport. If you live anywhere near there, you HAVE to go! It is seriously the best and the champagne is always flowing! After brunch, Lindsay, Lauren, and I went to David's Bridal so I could show them my dress and so Lauren could try on wedding gowns(she is getting married in Jan 2010) and Lindsay could try on Bridesmaids dresses. It was pretty fun and Lauren found a dress! Yay! After that Lauren and I met up with Patrick and Keith at another couple's house for a BBQ. It was really fun and they have two really cute kids. Then today we went sailing in the Newport Harbor with Lindsay and Dennis. It was a blast. Lindsay and I bought some pretty amazing sunglasses(see pics below!) and got our palms read. The girl didn't know anything about me and everything she said was pretty much the exact opposite of what was really happening. Oh well. Her nephew was just diagnosed with Autism, so I was at least able to give her some information! We also had a pretty amazing lunch at the Harborview Pavillion. It was so beautiful there and the happy hour is the best! All food and drinks are $4! It was nuts! We sailed around for a good 4 hours. Then Patrick and I headed home. We were able to get so much in this weekend and not feel completely beat! Yay for that! Well, I will more than likely be sleeping tomorrow when Ryan calls the first finalist, so good luck all! We are really excited to see who the finalists are going to be!
What makes us the perfect couple....
-
We are the couple that truly never fights. Life is way to short! We definitely have our occasional arguments, but they are usually because Patrick doesn't hang up his towels or Samantha has too many shoes. We are madly in love and make sure we show each other constantly.
Why should we win our Dream Wedding? Aside from being the perfect couple, we really want to be able to give our family and friends an amazing party! With Patrick still in school, and Samantha choosing her dream job over her dream income, we do not have very much money to fund a great party for everyone. The little bit of money that we do have, we would like to save for a house. We want to have a family some day, and would much rather own our own place then be forced to move from place to place with children. Samantha is also one of six daughters. It is financially not possible for her parents to fund SIX weddings, so we are turning to KIIS FM! This would mean so much to us and our parents! Please let us show you and your listeners what an amazing wedding we can have with your money!
What a blast!
Still sad....
We are still pretty bummed about dropping out... We were hoping that we would be distracted this weekend and not think about it, but we still are. I mean it is 10:30 on a Friday night and here we are. For us we were so excited to be getting married sooner rather than later. Stupid taxes! They really are the worst! Well we are back to our scheduled wedding date of September 12, 2009. We will more than likely get married in Westlake at the yacht club (it is surprisingly cheap for the location). I also know an amazing caterer that caters to the stars and will be giving me a phenominal deal seeing as he is my sisters best friend =). So we are good. We will have a beautiful wedding that will be perfect to us. We know that we made the right choice, but it is still hard. We really did spend a lot of time on this website, trying to make it perfect. Oh well.... We should have thought about the rules we read a little sooner. Good luck to all of you couples out there!
We are dropping out of the contest.....
We are both completely devastated! We have put so much time and effort into this contest over the last month. We called Kiis and canceled the interview that we had for tomorrow. We found out how much the taxes would be if we were to win the contest and there is no way we could pay it. We definitely do not want to start our life together in serious debt. We want to wish all of you guys the best of luck! We will definitely be voting, so you have about 2 weeks to win us over! =) We may still blog because we both really enjoyed it! Good luck all and may the best couple win!
Patrick and Samantha
Enchanted
Everytime I hear this song, I always think about the day that Patrick and I will start our happily ever after. I literally get teary eyed. I am sure there are some other girls out there too who will feel the same way. Listen to the words! And the video is really cute too!
So cute!
My nephew Ray is so freaking cute! This weekend I took him with me to Coffee Bean and I got his a chocolate milk. When we got home, I taught him how to cheers. It is so cute. My sister Morgan video taped it. He is such a cutie!


















You guys are such a cute couple, sorry you had to drop out! Your relationship is solid and your heads are on straight, so Im sure everything will be ok. Best of luck on your future when you do get married
