Why don't we tell you a little more about the way we met, how we came to date for five years or how Kourtney went OCD (so she DOES do that with EVERYTHING!?!) planning a wedding?

Well, I suppose we could, but doesn't that take away from the mystery that surrounds us currently?

Okay, you have won us over....where did we begin?

Juan and Kourtney actually went to high school together....did they even know each other existed? Well technically yes, however, Juan likes to pretend he noticed Kourtney more...very doubtful. I think they were both in their own little worlds honestly.

So Juan asks Kourtney out to a ProStar Company Picnic. ProStar is the place of employment for Juan and has been for some crazy odd amount of years. We'll say 8, as of 2007. I mean they do have an edit on this program, right? Why not put it to the test. Oh right, sorry, tangent talker.

Juan and Kourtney go out to this picnic. Kourtney is having a great time jetskiing and getting pulled in an innertube. Juan thinks he just might want to date Kourtney afterall...I mean, so hot and so random at the same time, PERFECT combination! Kourtney wasn't really thinking about dating Juan at the time...but at the end of the day, she had lots of fun and thought "This guy is fun! If he asks, I will definitely 'hang out' with him again!"

It took ALLOT more 'hanging out' before they officially began dating. At the time, Kourtney was at Texas A&M University and on an amazing scholarship to which one stipulation of keeping the scholarship was "no marriage". Now I am not saying Kourtney wanted to get married right away, but by year 3 of dating it was DEFINITELY on her mind. Juan was only thinking about that dang scholarship that was holding him back (or so he says :))

EVENTUALLY in December 2005, Kourtney finally graduated from Texas A&M...here comes the FUN part! On December 23, 2005, Juan dropped by Kourtney's work at Allstate Insurance and told her she needed to be ready for dinner by 7. Kourtney merely thought the dinner was for graduation celebration....good planning on Juan's part!

They went to a little bistro by the name of Madden's in Downtown and roses awaited on the table...one dozen red roses...in a word perfect! They had dinner and even talked about marriage briefly enough for Kourtney to say "when" and Juan to say "if you keep pushing it, it won't ever happen!" HUMPH!

After dinner, they walked out towards the car and a white horse and carriage were just outside...oh, how fun that would be thought Kourtney and to her utter surprise Juan asked if she would like to go for a carriage ride. Of course was the response and into the carriage they ascended. TWO DOZEN white long stemmed roses awaited....now Kourtney was suspicious, but not thinking too hard about it seeing as how Juan made that comment at the dinner table.

When the carriage was just about back to the resturant, Juan stands up, holy crap....he'll fall thought Kourtney and gets down on one knee and pulls out a little black box from his sock (ends up Kourtney had her hand on his thigh at the resturant and Juan had to move the box into his sock for safe keeping and concealment) and then tells Kourtney how happy he is with her and would she do him the honor of being his wife. YES, YES, YES was the reply through bleary eyes.

Then Ashley and Nicolee show up and start snapping pictures. Isn't Juan good?

Then came the wedding plans (15 months of pure excitement for Kourtney). We'll get to those on Monday probably....and we'll get some pics posted too!
