We’re Married and so Happy!!!

January 2018 on Match.com. Adams responses were thought out and enjoyable to read. First date Passyunk Ave Philly. Carlie was late. She wore a yellow flowy shirt and ripped jeans. He wore a red polo. Barcelona restaurant for dinner, drinks after at cantina, and more drinks after at the Pope for life story telling. Not her usual type of guy but he made her laugh. She thought he was hot. He liked her butt. They continued hanging out....and the rest is history!

His intentions were thought out for a perfect proposal...if it’s sunny - a nature trail hike; if it rains -the Cape May lighthouse. What he didn’t plan for was Carlie’s dog Piper, a late invite to the party, who inconveniently decided to have diarrhea. A quick trip to the local vet and a Rx for lomotil....Plan B is now in effect: Bike ride to local beach bar for tacos and drinks, then propose on the bay. Carlie insists on holding their belongings on the bike ride, forcing Adam to uncomfortably hide the ring box in his fashionably tight shorts. Dinner and drinks go as expected, but upon returning to the bikes they discover a flat tire. Knowing their families are expecting an engagement party the next day, Adam elects to go with plan C: Panic! Just kidding - But Adam does know time is of the essence, and decides to bite the bullet and propose back at his parents shore house on the balcony. He knows summarizing their day, with all his intentions will be sweet and heartfelt. But before he can get out the words to his sweet, soon to be fiancé, she begins looking at Facebook, seeing all her friends having babies, getting engaged, etc......and so begins an epic meltdown. She says all the things you’d hope the person you’re about to propose to would say like “When are we even going to get married?”, “I’m going to be 50 by the time I have babies!”, ”My parts aren’t even going to work”, etc. Adam responds with “I told you just to trust me”. She injects with “I’ll be trusting you till I’m 50!” As he stands there with the ring in his pocket, he allows her to her to go on for a few more minutes, because why not? Haha! He eventually interrupts her, as he explains, “I was gonna do it at the light house, but Piper had diarrhea. I was gonna do it on the bike ride, but you got a flat tire.“ He gets down on one knee and pops the question. Already crying from previous emotions, the tears continue as she says, ”I DO!”
