As many of you know, Bronson and I went to San Diego Last Friday for his "work" for the weekend. When we got to our hotel Friday afternoon Bronson left for work while I hung out and unpacked. I got a call from Bronson about an hour later saying that he got everything connected but their circuit at the building was down and there was nothing more he could do until the next day, so he was coming back to the hotel. When he came back to the room he had a bottle of wine and two glasses. He poured us a glass while we got ready for our dinner reservations at 5:30 We had some time to kill before dinner so we went to the mall and did some shopping. When we got done shopping we headed to our dinner reservations at Mr. A's. Mr. A's is rated in the top five best places to eat in the state. The restaurant is on 5Th Ave. (our favorite place ever) on the 17Th floor of the building with the most spectacular view of the City and the ocean I have ever seen. While we were valet parking Bronson pulled out a large gift bag out of the trunk and told me that i was not allowed to open until later. We had an amazing dinner, Bronson had a salmon fillet and mushrooms smothered in this sauce that is to die for. when it came to me ordering I ordered the thing that said "fresh sea food and chicken." Thinking it would be crab and shrimp... Um they brought me muscles covered in cheese, shrimp and squid. haha hey you gotta try everything right? Bronson had us on a very strict schedule so we had to be done with dinner at 7:00. When we walked out of the building, Bronson yelled out "hey Kevin how are ya?". I was so confused asking him, who do you know out here? Kevin is the guy that took us on a carriage ride last time we were in San Diego. Bronson had arranged with Kevin to take us on another carriage ride through the city. Later that night Kevin took us to Embarcadero Park that looks over the ocean on one side and the city on the other. Bronson then told me that this trip was not a work trip at all, it was a special weekend just for us. When we got to the park there was a symphony going on across the bay, it was so romantic because it was just the two of us out there. Bronson then let me open my present that he had been carrying all night. He pulled out a huge book called Cindawrendal. Totally not what i thought he was going to pull out of the bag. Bronson made me read the book that he wrote and this is what i read:
Once upon a time in a land really, really close, there was a girl named Cindawrendal. She, like every girl, dreamed of one day being swept away by her Prince Charming. Cindawrendal lived with her loving family and had a very happy childhood, she would eventually grow into a kind and beautiful young woman with humor and dignity; qualities many other girls her age did not posses. In that very same town there was a prince named Bronson who befriended Cindawrendal at a very young age. They became the best of friends over the years and they always knew that there was something special between the two of them.One cold winter's night, there was a terrible storm and Cindawrendal's house was destroyed forcing them to move to another in a town far, far away. This was heartbreaking for Bronson but he held onto the hopes of seeing her again, believing that one-day it would become reality. Several years later Cindawrendal hears news of a grand ball being held by the prince, she is determined to go and win his heart, but she does not have a dress to wear. Deep in despair Cindawrendal is approached by her Fairy Realmother, she is determined to make Cindawrendal the belle of the ball. With a swipe of her magic credit card, the Fairy Realmother turns Cindawrendal's torn dress into a beautiful blue gown with glass stilettos, a pumpkin into a sparkling coach and Roxy and Mo into magnificent horses, ready to whisk her away to the ball. Bronson is captivated by her beauty and they dance around the Northridge Ballroom all night. Although they had a magical night at the ball they did not see one another for quite some time, until they were reunited several years down the road. It was then they knew that fate had brought them together once again and although the road to happiness is not always a pleasant one, it is, however, a worthwhile one. From that day on they were inseparable, spending every minute they could with one another. Sharing memories of the past and making new ones for the future. Bronson wanted to make her every wish come true, but in order to do that she needed to become a princess. So, the two of them went to the most magical place in all the land to be united as one for Eternity, San Diego, California.......... It was here that their lives would change forever, Bronson would finally ask for her hand in Marriage making him the happiest man alive!
THE BEGINNING...
THE BEGINNING...
Will you marry me?!?!
It was at this point when I read the words "will you marry me"? That Bronson got down on one knee and pulled out a glass slipper with my ring tied on to it. He took the ring off the glass slipper and put it on my finger. I guess with all the excitement i forgot to say yes. I just started shouting I'M ENGAGED while Bronson was still on his knee. Bronson shouted you never said yes.. you have to say yes! I yelled yes, YES!! The symphony was still going on so we had our first dance as fiancee's. A couple minutes later Bronson looked at the time and told me to watch out over the ocean. Seconds later fireworks were going off from a boat.
When we arrived back to the hotel and I opened the door to our room i was surprised to see the floor covered with rose petals, the living room table had a bouquet of my favorite flowers Lily's, candles every where and a bottle of wine. It was the most romantic memorable night of my life.
The reason I did a Cinderella theme to propose to Wrendy is because she and I have grown up together and were eachothers first boyfriend/girlfriend in the second grade. I have always said that i would marry her one day. Even though some people told me to give up, it would never happen. I was persistent and I never gave up on her. We became the best of friends over the years and developed a great foundation for our relationship. Not to mention that she is indeed a princess and I am her prince charming. We are proof that fairytales do come true, and this is the beginning of our's.

Saturday we went to breakfast at the hotel, later in the afternoon we meet up with uncle Tony to have lunch with him at some Brewery in Laguna. The food was amazing and it was so good to catch up with Uncle Tony. We have not seen him since our last trip to San Diego. After lunch we went to the beach. It was kinda chilly so we didn't suit up. Bronson had a blast catching crabs and starfish. He was like a little kid, it was great! After the Beach we went to the hotel and got in the hot tub, and made a lot of really nice friends!Bron's & Wren Aug 21St..
the 21ST was the day we got engaged, so really it was the 22ND.
Bronson's friend Mr Crab...
The Starfist, and Crab..Baywatch baby.. Haha okay not really, but i was patrolling. My stunning fiancee...Getting ready to go Hot tubing...Sunday we had an early flight but we missed the first flight because there was a really bad motorcycle accident on the freeway. Then we accidentally missed all the other one's as well.. haha So we spent the rest of the day at Laguna Beach. It was the first day the weather was nice enough to get in a swimming suit. It was so warm outside with no clouds, glad we accidentally missed all the other flights! We stayed at the beach all day and Bronson actually got me to go in the ocean to where I couldn't touch. The waves were so big but we had a lot of fun. Weird, but for some reason I have become scared of the ocean just recently, and I have no idea why haha I never used to be. Our trip was so much fun, I am really sad though the camera died so we were unable to take pictures on Sunday.
