The first time we met it was an entire weekend full of drinks, engagement party, and laughs. We then started hanging out at Chili's! Who knew two random people had the same taste in restaurant chains! haha It was several months as just friends with so much laughter and silliness that we chose to start dating after a New Kids on the Block concert! Ever since, we've been inseparable.
After convincing me we would not be getting engaged anytime soon, I did not have my hopes up or even have the slightest clue. Now looking back, it was pretty obvious. That morning I woke up and realized I needed to get a manicure before all our planned events during our trip to Ohio. Dean agreed that "if he were a girl, he would want to get his nails done" he also agreed to go with me to the "mall". We were planning on going to the Columbus Zoo (one of my favorite places) for zoo lights. He agreed to look nice and refused to wear a stocking cap, even though it was freezing. Dean kept asking to take pictures in several different spots throughout the zoo, which was odd for him to want to take pictures. He finally convinced me to take a picture of me looking at the reindeer, little did I know, he was down on one knee!!! I finally realized what was happening when he pulled out the ring and asked me to be his wifey!
