I am building my wedding website and i need to add this to it. Please help me edit the writing, including structure and puntuantions. Thanks!



I can clearly remember how I met my beautiful bride to be. It all started on face book. It all started when I saw her at a wedding at funtin church. She stood out among the braidsmaid and she caught my attention, I told myself “wow she looks beautiful”. That day I left on time and didn’t have the chance to talk to her. A year after I saw her on face book and I decided to send her a message to see how she was doing, and also that I remember seeing her at a friend’s wedding. I waited for some days before she finally replied to my face book message..lol for some reason I thought she purposely delayed replying to my message. We sent each other messages via face book and later on we started talking on the phone. Our first conversation lasted about 3 hours but I had to let her go because she was studying for her exams. My first date with Joy was at junta seafood restaurant. We both tried alligator at the restaurant and it was yummy. We talked almost every day for several weeks. My mind told me she was the one and in June of 2010 I took her to Southtale, we sat at the water fountain and after talking for a while I decided to ask her to be my girlfriend..guess what? She said YES!…. Since then we have been so much in love with each other.
After 3 years and couple months of dating, Joy and i went bowling with John and Jane. During the bowling game Lena suggested for us to grab ice cream from coldstone, hahaha i quickly suggested we go to Southtale to grab some ice cream. At first i was going to propose to her at the bowling arena, but i decided to do it where i first asked her out. I was little bit upset that she was going to know i got the ring with me, lol she kept on trying to reach for my pocket because she gave me her phone to hold during the bowling game, but i guess i was sneaky :). We got to Southtale and then grabbed our ice cream from cold stone, afterwards we went to the fountain and chit chat for a little. My mind was already made up to go ahead with my plan. We were about leaving and then i said to myself " I am about to make one of the biggest and best decision of my life" my instinct was right. As Joy, Jane and John were about leaving i pulled out the box out of my pocket and got on one knee, i told her how much i love her and afterwards asked her " Will you marry me?" she nooded and said yes with tears of joy.

I can clearly remember how I met my beautiful bride-to-be (or "fiancée). It all started on [STRIKE]face book[/STRIKE] Facebook. It all started when I saw her at a wedding at Funtin Church. She stood out among the [STRIKE]braidsmaid[/STRIKE] bridesmaids and she caught my attention. I told myself “Wow, she looks beautiful”.

It is very late here and I only had time to do the first four sentences but it's a start. My corrections are above in red. Sentences 2 and 3 are contradictory. Either it all started on Facebook or it all started at a wedding. Decide which one it was.

Also, if you run it through a spell checker, that will pick errors like 'i' and 'nooded'.
And do get rid of these non-punctuation dots: my girlfriend..guess what? She said YES!…. Since
my face book message
..lol for some reason

People will more more likely to help you if you makes some effort yourself. You seem to have ignored what Raymott and Barb said.

You need to know when a sentence ends and to put a period there. You can't join sentences with commas. If you're serious about writing English, this is something you should study.
