A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN (AND STARTED AT OASIS!)

While Darrin and I were dating, neither of us had ever been to a spa before and I wanted to go but not alone so I talked Darrin into going with me the summer of 2000 for a half hour massage, manicure and pedicure (for both of us). Needless to say, Darrin was VERY hesitant about getting a manicure and pedicure (‘because men don\'t do that’...so he thought. During the time of our services, something happened with the scheduling at your spa (we didn\'t notice but the spa director did) and gave us a complimentary service! That sold us. Your customer service was wonderful!

So, we come to January 19, 2002. It was our 2 year dating \'anniversary\' and we decided that we would not give each other big/expensive gifts that year. Well, Darrin surprised me with a gift of a spa treatment at Oasis. So now I feel bad because my gift to him was nothing compared to this. My massage and pedicure were wonderful. I’m pretty relaxed by now as my polish is drying as I am sitting in the dimly lit room when I notice my massage therapist walking upstairs with a sneaky grin on his face. Then I see Darrin behind him. I am clueless as to what\'s going on at this point. I thought to myself, \'Darrin is early and why is he coming upstairs\'? Darrin comes in with a card and I open it. The card had 2 pieces of the Valentine Message Heart shaped candy. I didn\'t pay attention to the candy as I was reading the card. Darrin asked me to look at the candy and I could barely read their tiny messages. One read \'I Love You\' and the other \'Marry Me\'. As soon as I read the candy, he got down on one knee. He told me he loved me and asked if I would marry him. All I could do was cry and the first thing out of my mouth was \'Are you Sure?!\' He said \'YES\' and I said \'YES\'. The owners, Roberta and Juanita were downstairs waiting with anticipation as he escorted me down the stairs. The smile on my face said it all. We were all smiling and hugging. The first thing I wanted to do after leaving the spa was to call my Mom and Dad. That\'s when he told me that they already knew that he was going to propose as he asked them both, in advance, for their Blessing. God, I love this man!

Our wedding date was set for March 2003. We enjoyed Oasis so much that prior to the wedding, I had all my bridesmaids/hostess in town for a Ladies Weekend and a day at the spa. We even celebrated our 3rd year Anniversary at Oasis. Our marriage has been wonderful and blessed. Needless to say we were back to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary.

Oasis will always hold a special place in our hearts and remind us of our beginning on the path of becoming husband and wife.

God Bless,
Darrin and Subrena Eaton
