Nothing about us or our relationship is normal. Not even the day we met. We met through a mutual friend on the night of August 3rd 2013. We both knew that this was it for us that night (I'm sure drinks definitely helped the situation) and sure enough, it was. We've been full speed ahead ever since because hey, when you know you know. In almost 4 short years, the two of us have been through hell and back and have had many obstacles thrown our way. If we can get through that, we can get through it all. Bring it on life, the Roth's are ready for you!
When Donnie and I first started dating I had mentioned that I love the Metropolitan Museum of Art and that it would be my dream to either get married or proposed to there. Flash forward three years and we're on the Metro North on our way down to the Met. Of course, I'm thinking... "Is this it? Is this the day?" but my Maid of Honors are so on point that they swayed me into thinking other wise. I honestly didn't think anything of it anymore. We walk in and I am so excited to show him all of my favorite paintings and sculpture but he keeps rushing me! He finally gets me into an exhibit with art from Greece. In the center of the room is the most beautiful and massive statue of the Goddess Athena, whom my father used to call me as a child. I had lost my father the year before and was overwhelmed with tears. I look to my right and there Donnie is on one knee! He had everything perfectly planned. Our families and best friends were waiting on the rooftop to celebrate with us!
