I was at Firefly, a music festival in Dover, DE, wandering around a Two Door Cinema Club set, searching for a friend in the crowd. I stopped and started looking around, until my gaze suddenly locked onto unfamiliar eyes. The music stopped playing, everyone and everything froze, except for her. We spend the rest of the first night together dancing, and spend the next couple of hours sitting on a cot talking about anything. The second time i got lost in her eyes I was overcome with a sense of peace and happiness that I had never felt before. I knew it right then and there that I had found my soulmate.
As many of you know, Drew went to school in Florida, while I was in Pennsylvania. We knew this was something special and we wanted to make the distance work. Drew and I spent so many days on planes, trains, and automobiles just to spend time together. We tried to make sure we saw each other at least once a month. The summer was always the best because we could have most weekends together. We have had so many amazing times together including international trips, family holidays, and summer vacations together. The week Drew was graduating from UF, I was moving to Philly. He moved in a month later. It has been love, laughter, and happiness ever since.
On the annual Boger vacation in Avalon NJ, Drew proposed. I was being lazy and Drew was trying really hard to get me to do something. To be fair, it was just raining. "Do you want to go for a walk?" "Not really." "Do you want to go to the beach?" "Not yet." "Well, then what do you want to do?" "I'd go get alcohol!" So, Drew told me to get dressed, and in our bedroom, on the bed was a white box. He said, "open it". I giddily did, but it was empty. I turned around and there he was, down on his knee with the ring in his hand asking me to spend forever with him.
