We actually connected on Facebook when I (Emily) asked to be his friend. I didn’t know him personally since he’s older than me but I knew who his family was. I was only looking for a friend but we ended up connecting on a deeper level and decided to go on a date. He did not want to bring just anyone around his children so we did not meet in person until over a month of talking on the phone. He blew me off several times for our first date (which he denies doing now) but I stuck around and am glad I did! We became best friends and fell in love. Now here we are... getting married in May!
