Oh Happy Day! We just finished going through ALL of the entries for our Share The Love proposal video contest and Summer of Love–The Jewel of Jamaica promotion. Whew…lots of marriage proposals and countless love stories! They were all so wonderful to watch & read. Well, most of them. 🙂 We’ll announce the winners early next week so stay tuned!

Speaking of great proposal stories, here’s a really fun one that was submitted in the contest! Congrats to the newly engaged couple Kristen & Jared! I’m so glad that first date wasn’t the end of your relationship.

Submitted by Kristen:
It was obvious Jared was nervous on our first date when he drove the wrong way on a one-way street. I exclaimed, “You’re going the wrong way!” Seconds later, his car barreled over the median reaching the correct side. To make this experience further interesting, a police car turned on its lights and pulled us over. Once the officer realized this nice boy was extremely nervous with an attractive girl next to him, the cop relaxed and asked the forever-infamous question, “Is this your girlfriend?” Jared stammered, “Uh, um, not yet.” I grinned at the officer as he wrote a “warning ticket” and let us go to enjoy the best first date ever thanks to the wonderful “ice breaker.”

Fast-forward six years and Jared was extremely nervous driving past this spot again. I saw a police car and said, “What if we got pulled over like old times!” Little did I know that Jared had that officer waiting and he pulled us over. Extremely confused, I figured Jared was speeding. After the normal police spiel, the cop asked, “Sir, is this your wife?” Jared once again stuttered nervously, “Uh, not yet.” The officer asked us both to step out of the car, which is when I got nervous thinking we were getting arrested for some crime that you see people framed for on TV. Clueless with my heart pounding, I finally spun around to find Jared on one knee with a gorgeous ring! Completely shocked, he whispered he was more nervous this time than the first, and even saved the original warning citation. Needless to say, this was the only time I’ve ever been thrilled to be pulled over by the police! I hope we don’t get pulled over for eagerly speeding to a lovely honeymoon at Jewel Dunn Resort!
