{Curvy Engagement} Garden Fun in NY | Pamela Jusino Studios

We featured this super cute and fun couple in our Fall 2013 Issue and I loved every minute of putting the piece together.  They literally are just so much fun to look at. I mean really they are, and their photographer, Pam Jusino did a fabulous job making them look even better.  Don’t know how it was possible but she did and the result is just breathtaking!

Tell us about your first meeting.. Bride: Josh and I first met on Myspace and after a couple of months of chatting and getting to know each other we decided to see each other. Groom: Michal and I actually first met through MySpace. We spoke back and forth for a few months and then decided to finally meet one another in person.

Tell us about your First Kiss… Bride: During our romantic stroll Josh had attempted to kiss me but I got shy and nervous and evaded the moment. However, while we waited for my train to send me to Long Island I stole a kiss because I didn’t want him to feel that I was not feeling the same way he was. Groom: Our first kiss was actually quite amazing. After attempting to kiss Michal on several occasions and not being very successful, she actually stole a kiss from me as we waited to her train back to Long Island. I must say, it was very welcomed!

Tell us about the proposal… Bride: Our parents had mysteriously set up a time for them to meet at my parents house without telling us. So Josh comes up to me and tells me ” Can’t you believe that my parents are going to your parents house (Josh’s parents live in the Bronx and mine live on Long Island, this was very weird) and both sets of parents didn’t tell us anything!” We both decided to crash their party and to my surprise it was actually the venue for my proposal. I was very surprised! Groom: Well the proposal was actually a joint effort which included our parents and myself. I had wanted to surprise Michal with the proposal, so our parents and I came up with a plan that would get everyone together in one spot. We led Michal to believe that her and I were actually crashing a get-together that our parents were having. Eventually after everyone was pretty much settled down, I popped the question to her.

My Dear,

You have been a blessing to me and I cannot wait to see what is in store for us. You have been my best friend and love through the good and the bad. Thank you for opening your heart to me and for allowing me to live in it eternally, as you will live in mine.

Eternally Yours,

Michal

 

My Dear,

You are the greatest joy I have ever experienced in my life after being saved. I thank God for blessing my life abundantly with you and cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I thank you for you love, honesty and loyalty. You are my best friend and have been so since I first laid eyes on you.

Love,

Josh
