September 21, 2008Leah & Rob: Love At First Sight
The Meeting
Leah and Rob met in late 2005 when they were introduced by friends, and it was quite honestly love at first sight. Love at first sight sounds like a fairy tale and they wanted to be cautious. Each of them couldn’t imagine that finding someone so perfect could be easy and were waiting for the ball to drop. It never did. The two became inseparable and their compatibility was awe inspiring and heartfelt. They became the couple that you see and can only assume they just met because they were so enamored by each other. The truth is that they are truly in love and are always selflessly thinking of each other.
The Engagement
After dating for almost six months, Rob surprised Leah with an anniversary trip to her hometown of Monterey. It was December 2nd, 2006 and Rob booked a gorgeous room at the remarkable Monterey Plaza Hotel. The first night there, they went up to enjoy the roof top spa overlooking the whole bay. They were greeted with a beautiful clear night and a full moon shinning over them. For Rob, “It was as if I flashed forward in my mind and saw her walking down the aisle towards me. It was at that moment that I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this woman and asked her to marry me. With a look of surprise, she accepted and kissed me.”
The Big Day
All Leah and Rob ever wanted was to commit to each other completely and had considered eloping many times just to make it official. Each time they dismissed the idea due to the fact they wanted to share their day with everyone that has supported them. On the day of their wedding, having spent their first night apart since starting to date, they were both anxious to be back in each other’s arms. While they were excited to share the morning with family and friends, all either could think about was seeing the other during their first sighting and sharing the moment together that they had been planning for. Their first sighting was full of emotion and excitement as Rob saw Leah standing before him as an absolute sun kissed vision. She took his breath away. As Leah turned to greet Rob for their first sighting she couldn’t help but think she was marrying the sexiest man alive!
Their ceremony and reception were everything they imagined. They were graced with perfect weather, jubilant friends and family, delicious food, great music, love and support for this union. Everyone was there to celebrate the reality that love at first sight is possible.
