Paul and I met at my girlfriend's shop in Skippack. After a few months of getting to know each other indirectly, something seemed to click. Apparently, it turns out Paul fell in love with me the first time he saw me sitting in the chair at the store. After exchanging information, things seemed to take off from there. Our first correspondence was March 5, 2022, our first date was Thursday March 10th, 2022 at Basta Pasta a quaint restaurant in town. Seemly the date went so well things progressed from there and, here we are. We continued to see each other strengthening the relationship one beautiful day at a time. Paul and I travel, cook, hike, fish, boat and walk together. We enjoy theatre, kayaking and even a wicked game of scrabble a few times a week. Paul and I lived together instantaneously. Turns out after the first sleepover I never left, it just happened. How lucky are we to have found each other! Twenty years to late but, better late than never. The engagement was a 4-step process. The first step Paul presented me with a beautiful citrine (my birthstone) neckless to be worn with my wedding dress. He included a heartfelt card describing how much he cherished our relationship. The second engagement card further conveying his love came with stunning matching earrings. The third and fourth step happened upon arriving to the lake house for his 54th birthday weekend, surprising me with a private chef, masseuse, and outstanding decorations. After catching a pike at the Lake House and asking me to throw on a dress for dinner he pulled the boat up to our private cove and handed me the third engagement card. It stated how much he looked forward to spending his life with me. Then he handed me the final engagement card and pulled the ring box out of the bag and proposed on our boat. We proceeded to pull into the dock and enjoyed a fantastic engagement dinner by a private chef. We are currently surrounding ourselves with our Goats, family and a few friends. We are building branded business's and are working together as a team as we travel thru what's remaining in our lives semi-retired.
