GlitterBuzzStyle Presents: The Wedding Zone with Malan B.

My name is Malan B, I am 25, a freelance writer, and I am getting married. I wrote many exclusive articles for Glitterbuzzstyle.com. I was very excited that GBS want me to write about my journey as a bride and the wedding process.

I will write about every detail regarding my wedding. I will show you pictures of my save the date cards, my invitations, my bridesmaids’ dresses and great wedding websites. You will also know about the proper etiquette regarding a wedding invitations, and DIY projects. I will also talk about the stress and joys of planning your own wedding.

The Proposal

So you are probably wondering, how did your fiancée propose. It was a proposal that was sweet, funny, and full of love. You have to understand that Ian and I are very playful and silly couple. We consistently play practical joke on each other, our proposal was a reflection of that. Ian and I were watching TV (TNA Wrestling to be precise.) Side note: I am a huge wrestling fan since I was a little girl. Ian and I were watching TNA Wrestling, when Ian pops the question.

This is how the proposal went down:

Ian: “Malan. I going to ask you some question and I hope you say yes to all of them. Do you love me?”

Me: “Yes, why what did you do?”

Ian: “ Babe, I didn’t do anything! Just answer the questions, ok baby.”

Me: “Alright”

Ian: Do you want to be with me?”

Me: “Yeah, why?”

Ian shakes his head: “ How would you feel about being with me forever?”

Me: “I am ok with that. Why, what did you do?”

Ian laughs: “I didn’t do anything! “I am asking you to be my wife.” Ian bends down on one knee pulls out the ring box Will you marry me?” Ian opened the ring box.

Me: “Oooh! Ok!” I started to shake. I was in complete shock!

Ian laughs and states “Is that a yes or no, Malan?”

Me: “It’s a Yes! I will marry you!”

Laughter filled the air as we embrace each other and kiss. I call up my mom and my sisters to tell them the good news. I received congratulations from many of my family and friends.
