Matt and I have been dating since 2008 and he popped the question on our spring trip to San Francisco. We're pretty outdoorsy, so on a hike we stopped on a cliff overlooking the San Franscio Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific Ocean. We were chatting about how wonderful the trip had been (this was at the end of it) he said he could think of one thing that would make it more memorable. Completely to my surprise, he then got down on one knee and with that gorgeous backdrop asked me to marry him. (I'm getting all giddy again just writing this to you!)
In keeping with our loves of travel and the outdoors, we've decided to a destination wedding to Puerto Vallarta with the wedding day falling on April 1 (no joke!). We're going to a small all-inclusive resort called Playa Fiesta. We've been to a wedding there before and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone planning a destination wedding. We will have about 60 of our family and friends there along with the pastor from the church I grew up in performing a traditional ceremony.
Destination weddings are the way to go! We hardly have to do any planning and so far the most "stressful" part has been picking the green color of my shoes (from The Wedding Shoppe!) to match our invitation. Bright apple/lime green and aqua are the main colors we're using.

Dear Carolyn and the rest of the wonderful staff at the Wedding Shoppe- Thank you so much for all of the help you provided in finding my dress! I had visited several other stores before coming to Minnesota and I was beginning to feel frustrated. I hadn't seen any dresses that I fell in love with. That changed when we got to your store! Carolyn was able to pinpoint my style to a T and picked so many gorgeous dresses that it was hard to decide which one we liked the best! I felt like she really understood who I was and was so nice to work with. Thanks also to Mary for helping me when we had decided it was THE DRESS and for squeezing me into the store's busy schedule. I had a great experience at your store and you ladies made wedding dress shopping a breeze! Thanks again for all of your help!

I just wanted to write and say Thank You for the most amazing Wedding Dress and for making finding that perfect Dress one of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences of my Wedding!
I was so nervous coming into the store… with all those dresses I figured I’d just “look around” any maybe get some ideas for dresses. I mean there was no way I was going to find the dress for me amongst the endless racks of dresses in all those different styles.
After skimming the first row of beautiful white and ivory gowns I heard someone say, “Would you like to try some on?”. Who? Me? No, I couldn’t. I mean I’m just perusing today. I don’t have time to actually get a dress! “What’s your Style? I can pull some things together for you in the fitting room?”. Well, there was that beautiful strapless number I saw in the window on my way in… I have always wanted strapless. Oh, and this one with the tulle and lace appliqué, that might be pretty too! Oh, why not, it can’t hurt!
Two hours later, there I am standing at the register checking out with the most elegant, beautiful, made-for-me gown I could have ever wished for… a huge smile plastered on my face! It wouldn’t have happened with out you! …And that cute strapless number that brought me into the store!
Looking back on photos I am still head-over-heels for that Wedding Gown and wouldn’t change a thing! I truly could not have been happier.
Thank you for making me feel so welcome and taken care of, for fishing through racks and racks of dresses to find one right for me, and for making sure I said “Yes, to the dress”!
