Family. Love. Forever

Chris and I first saw each other on July 16th; it was at a staff meeting at my new job. Chris came in and gave a speech. We actually didn't speak until later though. I found out later after we started dating that Chris asked about me and told our boss that he was going to end up with me. When we’d see each other we’d flirt and joke around, but I played hard to get and turned him down for weeks whenever he’d ask me out. That didn’t last long though because we started dating at the beginning of August. After that we talked constantly. Spent everyday talking, texting and FaceTiming. He let me be my goofy, klutzy, and sometimes very loud self. It didn’t take long for him to know me inside and out. He became my best friend and I’m so thankful for our chance encounter. I’m so happy I get to marry my best friend💕

Okay this all started one Thursday afternoon. I was at a job meeting awkwardly trying to get my job back. When I noticed this beautiful women in a stunning dress. I couldn’t quit looking at her as I frantically tried to talk in front of the whole group. Finally after the meeting I went up to my hiring manager and asked who she was. She told me her name was Ashley. I Instantly said I’m going to date her. Of course my hiring manager told me I couldn’t work with her but I still managed to work my way to wherever she was working. I tried for a few days to impress her. Calling her names like Mighty Mouse and making sure she was always smiling. She tried to play hard to get but I knew from the start she liked me just as much as I liked her. I’d asked her several times to go to the movies, out to dinner and just to go to a park but her answers was always no, but that didn’t stop me. Eventually I was at home laying in bed when I got a friend invite on instagram. From there we talked every minute of everyday. On August 7th, I asked her if she wanted to date. I finally got a yes, and now 2 years later we’re getting married and have a 7 month old daughter. I couldn’t be more thankful for my chance encounter.
