The back story:
We have known each other for roughly 4 years, and shared friends for even longer than that. When we met, we were with other people. A little over a year later, we were both helping some friends move in together, along with the rest of our group of friends (we're all very close). At the time we were helping our friends move in together, he and I had just gone through our very own tough break-ups from the 7 year relationships we had both just been in. Our friends couldn't help but point this fact out to each of us throughout the day. One by one, people would make comments to me, "Funny how you and Gordon are so similar and are both going through break-ups at the same time." By the end of that day, we were all enjoying our moving help payments of pizza and beer, while Gordon and I couldn't help noticing each other across the room. Throughout the next year and a half, we managed to realize the attraction we had for each other was more than just something small, and it was scary....especially after the bad experiences we had just left. So, we managed to date people we knew were wrong for us in order to keep distance between us until the thought of being with someone you couldn't help but just know was perfect for you, wasn't so scary anymore. Eventually, last year the day after my 29th birthday party, we decided to stop fighting it and take that chance of being together. We've been completely inseparable since then.
Fast forward to today: This year on my 30th birthday, Gordon told me he had surprise plans for my birthday. He hinted at dinner and a movie. I figured this was just to throw me off, because I'm usually really good at playing detective. We arrived at Big Picture (an independent theater downtown Seattle that serves cocktails along with the usual movie treats) around 5pm on Wednesday. So, I didn't think much of the fact that we were the only ones there until the movie screen came on. I mentioned to Gordon how crazy it was that we were the only one's there, but still thought it had to do with it being early and in the middle of the week. Then, the movie started, and it was Gordon on the screen.... Come to find out, he had rented the place out and got them to play his video. So, here's how he proposed
I said YES!!!
Thank you for listening and viewing our story! I hope we win.

Hello!
This is much later than I wanted it to be!
I want to thank everyone from Best for Bride who helped me during the hectic planning of my wedding. Everything went off perfectly, and a lot of it had to do with the help of everyone there.
I was worried about getting decor done at an affordable price, but when roaming around on the BFB website, I saw that it was offered. I showed up to the church and was amazed with the aisle drapery! Then showing up at the reception and seeing the head table - it was perfect. Thank you so much.
A special thank you to a couple of ladies:
Melloney - Thank you for being so supportive and assuring me that my dress would be perfect for the wedding. Thanks for not thinking I was a crazy lady when I bawled my eyes out in the change room!
Larissa - You're amazing. I would have been a wreck if I had not had you to help me with all of my dress woes. I've sent you another note of thanks. I hope that you can help me with the bridesmaid dress I will need in September 2011.
Again, thank you to everyone at Best for Bride. I'm sending a couple of pictures from my wedding on October 2, 2010.
All the best,
Sabrina Copeman

My name is Elaine and I purchased my dream wedding dress from Best for Bride. The service I received from my very first visit to every time I went back was just amazing. They were all so supportive, helpful, honest and really had an eye for seeing the vision I was trying to find. They made me feel like a princess and really helped me with my search for my dream gown. When I did find "the dress" they were just as happy and excited as my family and friends were, they were the best goup of ladies to have with me at that moment. The customer service at Best for Bride was no comparison to any of the other stores I had been to, and ultimately, is why I kept going back and found my wedding gown there.
Thanks so much ladies, it was the best experience, and just the experience I hoped for.
