Let's "I Do" this thing!

We met through mutual friends and then we lost touch for years. We reconnected through social media and started chatting online every day for months. Our conversations often would last throughout the day or well into the night. We decided to meet up finally and set a date. After a long night of just being in each other's company, Alex kissed me goodbye and we knew we had something special. We had found our puzzle pieces and have been partners in life ever since.

It was our 5 year anniversary. We had a whole day planned out. A spa day, romantic dinner at a restaurant we both loved and finishing up with drinks at the attached bar. Alex is terrible at surprises. He gets super excited and always ends up telling me what all my presents are or all of his plans. This time, though, he nailed it. We finished up dinner and when we walked into the bar, I saw a bunch of our closest friends waiting for us at tables. Confused, I turned around and Alex was on one knee with a beautiful ring. Of course I said yes and we got to celebrate with people we love. It was perfection.
