I first met Leanne at work. We were lifeguards at Aquatica. One day, I had half an hour of free time. I took the opportunity to speak with this new girl about a book I'd noticed her reading on break. That particular book was boring, but the conversation sparked by it was anything but. Turns out, reading was a big hobby of ours and one of many things we'd soon discover we both enjoyed. Soccer was another shared interest and we discussed the World Cup that was going on. After being acquainted for a few weeks, Leanne caught me dancing a few steps. This led to a jovial bet on who could teach who how to dance. We agreed to hang out at a line dancing club the following week. In the end, we had a great time and we were both fairly decent. I would leave that night knowing I wanted to ask her out on a legitimate date. Our big first date was a night out at Sleuth's murder mystery dinner show. I got there early and I'll never forget that tap on my shoulder when she arrived. I spun around and got to begin my last, first date. The show was great. The actors interact with everyone. Leanne got to ride an imaginary horse. Good times were had and when it was over, the two of us weren't ready to say goodnight. So, we drove down the street to a dueling piano bar for some drinks and chatting. Nature was another key part of our relationship. I asked Leanne to be my girlfriend in the rose garden of downtown Winter Park. Time passed, and over the next five years we did so much: some trips as a couple, we changed jobs with Leanne becoming a nurse, and we began shopping for our condo. Eventually, after a few months of holding on to the engagement ring, I managed to entice Leanne to go on a trip to Bok Tower Gardens. It was a beautiful spring day. We found ourselves sitting in a secluded area where I asked her to marry me. She said yes and Leanne made me the happiest I could ever imagine being. The rest of the story continues on the wedding day with all of YOU!
