The story of us. We met the evening of March 27, 2018, two years to the day of our wedding. We both happened to be at Stone Works restaurant. I was getting a to go order in my semi disgused pajamas and Alan was relaxing, watching sports, after work. I was completely oblivious to the man staring at me. Lucky for me this handsome man approached me after I had been waiting for my order. He had quite the pickup line! He said, “ You are the most beautiful woman, I’ve ever seen. Will you have a drink with me?” Needless to say, I was intrigued. and he seemed so genuine and kind. Thank goodness I said yes as the rest is our history! We ended up talking for three hours! I really was taken with his politeness, curiosity and his humor. His looks were a bonus, I still am fascinated by his crystal blue eyes. This is how we met each other's last first kiss. My Alan and Alan's Kim. Reluctantly, I had to leave that night, as I had work the next day but not before I invited him over two nights later. I could not get this wonderful man out of my mind. We have both said we knew then we were destined to be together. Two days later could not come quickly enough! We had the most incredible time and it was a simple date on my back porch. Alan and I now joke that after our second date he never really left my side, and, well, it’s actually true. Alan and I have seen a lot in our time together and it has been wonderful, happy, frustrating or sad, and we are still going strong. I still get butterflies when I see him. This man is my forever and he feels the same for me. We never judge, we are patient and kind to one another. We have become gentler people as our love has transformed us both for the better. Being soul mates helps as well. We are so happy to have you celebrate with us, our forever! We are truly bound forever in this life and the next. Thank you for being a part of our lives.
