Her Gaze Met Mine

First Comes School, Then Comes Marriage.

She was already a student at Paul Mitchell, and I had just started school to begin my journey as a Hair Stylist. I wasn't there for anything other than that: to get my schooling done, and to start my career as a cosmetologist. Little did I know that would all change the moment her gaze met mine. Something about her very existence drew me in. Maybe it was her graceful movements, gentle energy, or perhaps it was her perfected RBF that gave me the hint that I needed to try hard to get her to simply smile. Perhaps all of the above. Whatever it was I was drawn in, captivated, like a lone wolf howling at the moon (I promise I didn't actually howl). We really did start off as friends, but shortly after she graduated from hair school that all changed. One night, after we finished watching a movie together, I found myself trembling. I was nervous and simply told her not to leave yet and that I needed to tell her something. I'm sure she thought it was weird, but eventually I looked her in her beautiful green eyes and told her what I wanted to say. "I can't go another day without being able to call you mine. Will you be my girlfriend?" She said yes. From then on we've been through so many trials and tribulations, growth, adventures, and now we're in it for the biggest adventure of them all -- marriage! We ask for your blessing, friends and family, as we progress towards "death do us part" and beyond. Join us on 3/21/25 to see how it went from "Hello" to "I Do"!
