We're Getting Married

It's funny recalling how we meet.. Crystal actually enjoys sharing how she met me for the first time. So I am going to let her share our story! We'll, guess what.. she wants me to share it! Many of you know there are dating apps and websites. One day Crystal swiped right on my profile and gave me a heart. I got the notification and I scanned her profile. She seemed cool. We started to talk on the app and eventually started texting. As Crystal would say, I gave her a hard time for a long time.. and I did but not intentionally. One day, we decided to meet up!

After meeting and getting to know each other just a little better, we decided to start Dating! Yay.. this was exciting, so every other Friday night, would be our date night. We were always jovial for those nights because we would be kid free for just that night! We would find cool things to do. We went to Donuts and Dragons, where we played classic board games and enjoyed doughnuts. Yall know Ashley had to taste those donuts. When Covid hit, it was hard to keep our date nights. Crystal came up with the idea to have some cool date nights. The one that we enjoyed the most was Car Date Nights. We would get take out, watch movies, play games, and chill in the car.. parked in the drive way! Having our children get to know and learn each other was exciting and interesting. We would take group hikes, trips to the beach, vacations, and holiday festivities! We have all grown to love each other in a special way.

The Weekend of Ashley's birthday On Friday night, I wanted to have dinner at Rick's Boat Yard for her birthday dinner. We had a good time! Crystal stopped by to wish me a happy birthday and gave me a card. Saturday evening, I had a Seafood Boil Bombfire Birthday Party at her house with family friends. Sunday morning, spent time my kiddos and that afternoon they went to with their dad's. Crystal wanted me to block the time for 5pm for just us. She had planned to a lovely dinner at Ocean Prime! After an amazing dinner, we went back to my place. As we were getting ready to watch a movie, she told me that she had something to give me. She went into the other room and came out with a card in one hand and a Puma shoe Box in the other! Of course, I was eagerly ready to open the shoe box first lol. I opened the card and read it. As soon as I was about to grab the shoe box, Crystal got down on both knees and told me to open the box. When I opened the box there were two heart shaped cardboard paper laced in the shoe strings that said, "Will You Marry Me?" I literally almost cried... I said Yes my Luv. I was totally surprised 😲 and happy!

As we prepare for the wedding day, we are elated and excited for our future together. We are happy and ready to become a beautiful blended family. Our wedding will be on Zoom. We know that everyone could not make this event. The link for the zoom is under thebSchedule icon. Please feel free to tune in and let us know that you did.
