We met at a time when we both were in a very toxic place. And it was casual. We were both in relationships.. horrible ones, really; and we were no more than acquaintances, maybe saying a few words to each other here or there. And for some reason, there was a long time when we never saw each other.. and it wasn’t even a thought. So a year goes by. And I wake up to a message on Facebook. I never replied to anyone.. and I mainly just wanted to focus on getting my life together; but for some reason, my gut was telling me, reply. So I did. We caught up, and he asked me to go to his birthday dinner June of 2016 with his family. And I agreed. He thought I wasn’t going to show.. but there I was standing in his driveway that day. We went and had a good time, and after that night we parted ways, and for some reason we never talked after, until that August. The whole week Prior, I was wondering “why” hadn’t we talked for so long? He was so sweet, and cute; he could be it. So one morning I woke up to go to work, and I received a text from him, asking how I was. And at that moment, I knew this was it. He was it. He had texted me to ask if I would want to go to a wedding he was invited to, and of course I agreed. So I went out and bought a new dress, got my nails done, and packed my weekend bag and left. That weekend, we fell completely, totally, wholeheartedly in love. And ever since that day, we have been inseparable. He is my absolute best friend, my life partner, love of my life, future husband and father to our children. Our love will last our lifetime, and lifetimes to come. We are the best team. And I couldn’t imagine going through the happy, the sad, the good or bad without Cory Jay Dunlap by my side. So who would have thought, the man and woman we were in 2015 would be the man and women getting married in 2018. Love works in so many crazy ways, and I’m glad I found mine.
