We met at our university’s local pizza shop, Mama’s. We both ended up sitting at the same booth with a group of mutual friends that introduced us to one another. We laughed and talked the night away. From that very night we quickly became best friends. We were effortless and never tired of each other’s company. Ours is a gentle love that only grew more with time and we just knew we were meant to be.
It’s was my 30th birthday and he insisted that I get pampered with a manicure. Seemed like a simple enough thing to do except it was a Sunday and almost every nail salon was booked or closed. Luckily, we eventually found a place and I was able to get my nails done. We spent the rest of the day getting ready to go to my favorite restaurant. Upon arriving, after spending an hour looking for a hat at the mall (he was stalling), I spotted my family and his waiting for us. I was overjoyed! Eventually, a cake was brought out and he pretended that to drop the knife to cut the cake. Instead of getting up he stayed down on his knee and asked me to spend the rest of our lives together in front of our families. Between sobs I was able to say yes! Now it’s time for “I do.”
