[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 426469, member: 4264"] Thanks Jena :) I already described to Star how small it will be. We went back and forth on where to do the ceremony. We've decided it's going to be a one stop shopping experience lol. The venue is also going to be the reception location. We met while we were both living here on the military base. It was New Year's eve and we both attended the gala at the Officer's Mess. I was friends with his sister and she introduced us. At midnight I'd gone outside for air, and some insanity came over me when I went back indoors. S/O was standing near a pillar by himself. Everyone else was mingling and doing the rounds of hugs and kisses etc. He was new to the area and didn't know anyone. I walked past to go get a glass of wine, spotted him there, he smiled at me, I smiled back and as I passed him for some reason I lost my mind or something. I'm not brave about men lol. I said something like "We're the only 2 people not getting a new year's kiss. We should do something about that". He burst out laughing and I swear I about fell over. His laughter just tickled me somehow (still does! I love his laugh, it's catchy, we laugh a lot!) and I fell right there. I think the clincher was the twinkle of mischief in his eyes. He thought I was kidding of course, but we both somehow got the giggles and I leaned in and planted him with one right there. We looked a bit shocked I think at each other. I swear I was so uncool.
