Rio's Point of View: Bree and I met at a bar one night, one of my friends grew up with her and so we decided to hang with her friends while attending that night. This particular friend loved playing match maker so I guess he was in her ear about me and she had enough liquid courage that night to come and take my phone and put her number in it. Me being my awkward self I just sat there in disbelief but at the same time I was happy. So by time I was leaving she had moved to another table so I had to make sure I was seen by her before I left and I interrupted the whole table and told her to text me. Which she did that night and we would continue to text and get to know each other. Our first date was Dave and busters and the car ride there was just awkward and silent the whole way, but it got better once we got there and after that date we both were hooked onto each other, day and night texting, hanging out in her driveway, going on dates. Just around each 24/7. In the mist of all of this I realized that she just made me whole and I wanted that for the rest of my life. We had many ups and downs that we had to go through especially when I decided to pursue my love for football and go back to school. That was the hardest struggle throughout the 4 years we’ve been together, but she stuck beside through it all and was supportive and that just add on the the great things I loved about her. Those things drove me to ask her to marry me because she understood me when no one else did and loved me when I was at my worst. She has truly been a god sent to me and I want enjoy moment of life with her by my side. Bree's point of view : I remember going out to the bar one night with Mariam (maid of honor ) and we were having a good time and having drinks. I end up seeing a childhood friend that I lost touch with. What are the odds I end up seeing him at the bar that night. He talked about how his friend was going to go out with him that night and I remember my friends and I after so many drinks sitting down at the tables . I proceeded to say well who is the friend and is he cute? Mozzy was buying shots and round after round and after he buys the shot I ended up getting to the table and seeing the friend sitting there and I'm like oh he's cute. I've never seen him before and I remember the demeanor being so different and he was completely quiet. He wasn't cocky. He was silent. It was somebody that was different, I could feel it. I remember being buzzed and going up to him while he's wearing a toy story sweatshirt that said hood story on it. He was awkwardly looking at his phone under the table and sitting and not drinking much. My best friend said that she had liked his sweatshirt and he said thank you (she was trying to break the silence lol ). I end up grabbing his phone and saying let me put my number in it. I felt so cocky and just on top of the world. My friend loved walking around the bar so we end up leaving the table after putting my number in his phone saying to text me . After walking around we went and sat at a different table with more people we knew. He got up and as he was leaving and made it clear he would be texting me. After that night we endlessly were talking, from sitting in my parents driveway, to going on dates .My parents are so particular on people. I just had to know that the next time I introduce my parents to someone it had to be the one. I remember being months and months down the line of hanging out with him and going on many dates that we were definitely going to be great together and I just knew for sure that this was exactly what I was waiting for. Here we are now four years later, and we are getting married. I truly think I found my soulmate, he loves food, music and makes me truly happy without even trying. Like my grandpa said "I just know that girl is bossing him around because that fella so quiet ." I'll keep bossing him around, but also he is a nice fella like you said "❤️
