Our Love story

I'm liking up with From Mrs. to Mama to share me and Jon's love story

1. How long have you and your significant other been together?
We have been together for 4 years

2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
Jon and I met through a mutual friend (our best man, David).  One night David called me and asked me join him and his girlfriend downtown Portland.  David had also invited Jon, we hit it off that night, but didn't exchange numbers until about a month later.  Since that day, we have been attached at the hip.

3. If married, how long have you been married? If not, is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell}
We have been married for a little over 6 months.  I'm so happy to be married to my best friend! 

6 month anniversary date night


4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding? If not, where would you like to get married? And will it be big or small?
We got married in a vineyard in Salem Oregon, Zenith Vineyards.  It was a big traditional wedding, our wedding story is here. It was the princess wedding I had always dreamed of!

5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share!
We have many!
We call one another these: baby love, baby, babe.
I call him this: Burnzie (our last name is Burns), boyfriend (i still call him this! lol), lovie
He calls me: Baby doll, lover

6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
I love how he is such a hard worker. He always puts me first, and he is my comedian that can always make me laugh.

7. Tell us how he proposed? Or your ideal proposal?
He told me that we would be going for walk and to "get pretty" because my hair was a mess.  I didn't see a point in getting pretty for a walk, so i went on the "walk" with my messy hair.  We went to a view point in Portland. I wanted to get a picture of the both of us, so he went and asked a stranger to take out picture.  He also told that stranger that he would be proposing, so as i stood there to get my picture taken, he turned me to face him and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I was so shocked, the only thing i could do was laugh! It was so sweet and I'm so happy that our moment was captured.


8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals?
He does both, but i get flowers and teddy bears more often.

9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
I'm a big romantic and so is he, so we are totally a sunset dinner on the beach couple.

10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?
Travel to Paris or Greece! Hopefully someday we will travel to both places!

11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day.
We are going to a stake house in downtown Seattle.  I cannot wait!

12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's day?
I REALLY want a pink emerald ring, but I'm happy with whatever he gets me :)  I'm sure Hello Kitty will be Incorporated in whatever it is.

13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.
Communication.  Being able to communicate to each other how you are feeling and respecting one anther's feelings.

14. Show us a picture of what love means to you.
