Jordan and RJ were the winning bidders on our coordination package for the Bidding for Good Auction to benefit Wish Upon a Wedding.  Jordan and RJ will be married at the Wynn on February 12, 2011, followed by a lunch reception and a tour of the Las Vegas Strip on a double decker bus.

Here is their engagement story in Jordan’s words:

“RJ and I met 7 years ago at our local fair. We started dating almost 4 years ago, I live in Denver and work for the National Western Stock Show and RJ lives in the middle of nowhere northeastern CO and works at a feedlot. We share a love for the denver broncos and any type of football. Our courtship was slow but we always had fun. Since we have been together we have been to Vegas 4 times and have fallen in love with the town so we decided why not get married there since we wanted to have a small but FUN wedding.
I knew RJ was going to propose around Christmas time but I didn’t know when. It was the 23rd of December and RJ had just gotten home from work at the feedlot. I had been at home all afternoon trying to put together Christmas present for everyone and I couldn’t get the backs to fit on some of the picture frames so I immediately put him to work.
After we got the picture frames fixed, RJ asked if he could look at his present so I let him. Then I asked if I could look at mine and he told me no since it was at the jewlery shop being sized. Being the nosey person I am I asked when we would be going to pick it up. He hugged me, asked me to marry him (which I though he was just being a smart ass), I told him yes..and he said well good because I have a ring for you in my pocket!! He was in his smelly muddy clothes from the feedlot and I was in camo sweat pants and hoody but it couldn’t have been a more perfect proposal.”

Congratulations you two!  We can’t wait for the wedding!
