Your PERFECT Date
Wake up, make breakfast. Grab a towel and bottled water- head to spinning class, go on a hike, or play tennis. Get supplies for a picnic and hangout at the park. Come home for a nap and a some time to cuddle. Freshen up and head downtown for drinks with our friends.
Your PERFECT Engagement
I picked out the ring and after months, was able to make my final payment and pick it up in July. I racked my brain and searched the internet for ideas for the perfect proposal but nothing seemed to connect. Shayla has known forever that I wanted to marry her, so she was thrilled when I told her to enter the KIIS contest. At last, here was the perfect opportunity to propose! We went to Il Cielo, had dinner and on the patio I asked her to be my bride. Lucky for me she accepted.
She's PERFECT because
Her zest for life is bright and encouraging. She is passionate, has a kind heart and good sense of humor. She has a gorgeous smile and brings a smile to my face every time I see her. She is so sensual and precious. I'll do anything to protect her, take care of her, and I'll continue letting her know she is loved!
He's PERFECT because
He is a smart and ambitious man. He is a special-ed teacher who values education and pushes me to continue reaching my goals. He can make friends with anyone and is my favorite person to be around. No matter who we are with, Andrew makes me feel noticed. His carefree spirit and funny charm compliment my sensitive and creative character. He embodies all the things I love. I want to spend the rest of my life showing him how important he is to me.
Your dream for the PERFECT life together
Live a healthy and happy life. Have careers where we can help the community, Andrew as a teacher and me as a paramedic. Establish a strong foundation, build a home together, a place where everyone feels comfortable and loved. We would love to have kids and continue supporting our parents and family as they grow older. Keeping active, enjoying the small moments, and embracing live as a team.
Our perfect wedding colors will be
Earth Tones .... especially for the fall! Browns, oranges, buttercup yellows and greens
The perfect wedding flowers will be

The perfect wedding music will be

It's a suprise!
The guest most likely to cry
Bride's parents AND groom's parents. Yea, our parents are definitely supportive.

The guest most likely to give the PERFECT toast
Maid of honor. Ashley is the most poised and beautiful friend. She will totally try and top the speech I gave at her wedding, where I sang, LOVE by Nat King Cole.
What a whirlwind of a week! While campaining for votes, so many well wishes and expressions of kindness have come our way. It has been incredible to watch my future bride balance out the networking with her hectic school schedule and work. It is times like this that character really shows. With every excuse to be cranky, Shayla has been so sweet. This morning she brought me a coffee from Starbucks and filled up my gas tank before I woke up. Thats just a small example, but when I think of all the things she does for me, it makes me want nothing more then to win this perfect wedding and see the delight on her face when we say "I do". VIP friends, theres a few days left and we need some votes! Help us take this thing to our happy ending. Thanks friends!
Hey VIP network, what do you know, they slid us in as lucky random couple 11. We love being in love and we love this competition! Today was a crazy day with the almost 9:00AM call from Ryan and the flood of excitment and the realization of the work we are going to need to do to rock the vote. About the vote, no doubt we need votes, and lots of them. We hope by watching our interview you get the sense of our love for each other and that warm fuzzy feeling will get you to click for us. If you have extra time you can get to know us more by checking out our page, or better yet, you can send us a message and we will be happy to correspond with you. So far, the VIP support has been amazing and I hope everyone in the network can help us carry this through to a happy ending. Thanks VIP & KIIS FM, our gratitude is endless!
Andrew and I are both gifted at working with people. Andrew is very good with kids and parents. He manages good behaviors in his class and finds joy in teaching. I do well with the elderly population and encourging people how important health is.
When I worked at the Olive Garden a couple years ago, I had a customer who was a regular. He was an older gentleman named Don. He was fond of sitting in my section because I was stable. I was always working the time (saturday 3:00 pm) that he came. He told me about his early marriage, daughter, christianity, and what he did that week. I felt a simple connnection with Don. I treated him like family and really valued his presence over the years of serving him. Yesterday, an old co-worker called me and informed me that Don passed away. I'm absolutely considering going to his memorial service and showing my respect and support. I know life is busy and I've moved on since that time I knew Don, but I know he would want me there. Life is so special, and when I see a life and death situation I embrace life, and love that much more.
Jack Johnson's concert was amazing, friday night! Andrew and I went with my best friend Ashley, and her husband Ryan. It was an adventureous night, and it's a crazy story how we went to the concert with no tickets! Maybe I'll tell you about it later. Ashley and Ryan have a cute little place together and had us over last night for Ashley's birthday. Two nights in a row....what a blast to be with them!
