We met through my ex. They worked at wal mart together so we saw each other a lot. At the time we were both in happy committed relationships and I never would have thought that a few years later we would reconnect and end up engaged to be married after being together for 6 years. Chris and I would speak every so often online talking about one of the shows we both were interested in "Sons Of Anarchy". In August of 2015 my ex and I went through a hard breakup and I became a single mom of my son. Chris had messaged me as he also was going through a rough break up and we began talking. At that time everything was still fresh, I didn't want to open my heart up and have it get broken again. I was talking to other guys, but none of it felt right and honestly, I really didn't want it to. One night, Chris asked to come over and hang out for a bit as he was in the area with one of his friends. I figured, what could it hurt. We began talking more and on October 23, 2015 he asked me to be his girlfriend. It's been a long, amazing, fun, adventurous 6 years. We rented our first place together in November of 2016 and it wasn't until May of 2020 that he FINALLY asked me to marry him. After years of him telling me he didn't want to get married. It was a surprise and we decided to waste no time planning and preparing for our wedding day in July of 2022! In 6 months I will be Mrs. Hardie <3 This is the short version of how we met and the last 6 years, it would take more than 2000 words to describe the last 6 years together <3
