I heard him before I met him. He saw me before we said hello. We met through the hole of a bread shoot at Olive Garden, where we were both working at the time. We started talking at work and trying to spend more and more time together. After long shifts, we chose to spend hours in the parking lot, talking about life, our beliefs, our hopes and our dreams. As if that wasn't enough quality time, we chose to move in together after just 3 months. Over the past four and a half years, we have shared the good and bad of ourselves, and supported each other through long nights studying , vacations, working two jobs, job changes, deaths of loved ones, and births of new ones, including our own sweet girl. Throughout all of this, we have promised to stay partners, lifting each other up through anything life throws at us. Now, we are excited to vow to continue this respect and adoration for the rest of our lives. We cannot wait for September 4 2021 to come, and for our forever to begin.
