We met through our mutual friends, however, neither one of us can recall the actual day. We were beer pong enemies before we became friends, which created the foundation we built our relationship on (we agreed that we were equally as good). It was a very quick courtship consisting of nonstop texting for a month before our first date in August 2012. That was also the day we made our relationship official. It has been a wonderful, seven year (and counting!) journey together, while Judy awaited the proposal.
Picture this- snuggling together in a warm, New Hampshire condo, as the unforgiving winter winds forge on outside. 'Friends' is playing on the TV while two glasses of white wine are being sipped. That was the night the proposal happened. It began with a show and tell from a memory box, one that we had collected over the years consisting of crafts, letters, and gifts- all handmade. When one of our favorite songs came on, we danced, just the two of us, forgetting where we were. That's when he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, in a quiet and private moment, just shared by the two of us. A sweet moment that will be vividly remembered forever. (Yes, there were lots of tears)
