This is a Cinderella Story of Angela Smith and BJ Joosse. They met in March of 2007 and one of their early dates was at Disney World where they dreamed of living in a castle. |
 |

|
Angela was so happy she could scream. |
||||
 |
Angela told us BJ was like an angel sent from God. We aren't sure if this picture is any proof of it, but there seems to be an angel hovering over him. |
 |

|
After much talking, emailing and a few trips between Florida and Australia, they developed a more serious "courtship". Here the family greets them in November 2008 as they return from Australia |
||||
|
|
Our family planned a cruise so we could get to know BJ better. It seems BJ enjoys sitting on the beach drinking an adult beverage with the guys. |
|
||
|
After the cruise and a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner, BJ learns about the after-Thanksgiving sales and how you have to schedule your shopping day. Yes, all the ads are reviewed so the day can be planned. |

Christmas was a fun time for our family. Here we pose for a family picture at cousins John and Cindy's house. Left to right are Rob, Christy, BJ, Angela, Grandma Madelyn, Rick, Marti, Lisa and Chris. |

It was quickly decided to either give these two dancing lessons for a wedding gift, or do way with the wedding dance. |
||||
 |
The engagement took place on December 13th. Here you can see Angela and her sisters, Christy and Lisa, are discussing ideas for the big day. The wedding is planned for May 2, 2009.... and yes it will be on the beach. |
|
||
|
BJ and Angela have decided the Bilmar Beach Resort on Treasure Island is a perfect place for their wedding. They both love the beach and water and can not imagine a more romantic place for the beginning of the rest of their lives. |

|
May God Bless their marriage. |
