We met at the Belmont Moose Lodge. The Two Rivers Shag Club was having a dance. Wayne came over to talk to me and my sister Terri. We danced a little, then we got on the subject of family. I mentioned that my Uncle Leon owned a Harley Davidson shop in Wilmington. Wayne told me that he had a Harley that could haul 4 at one time. I said no way. He said if I'm right then you owe me a free haircut. I took the bet. He has a Harley Davidson F250 Superduty Ford Diesel Truck. Wayne texted me the following Monday and asked if I could pencil him in for a haircut Friday and afterward take me to dinner. The Beginning...

Wayne told me my daughters, Taylor and Maddy wanted to go to Xtreme Xcape Sunday afternoon. I was excited, sounded like great fun. Little did I know that Wayne planned with them to surprise me. The whole time in the room I was letting the girls and their guys and Kimberly do all the work opening the locked boxes...when we were close to the end, Wayne said, "Baby why don't you come over here and help open the last one" I told him, "Let the girls do it"...Then Taylor comes over and says, "Mom come on over and open it"...lol I was shocked to see a ring box, OK, I was confused, it wasn't this dainty cute ring, it was a big bulky mans ring. ( He had bought his ring, because he knows I hate to shop. lol). I turned around and Wayne was on his knees holding a beautiful diamond ring, and with tears in his eyes. He said, "I made him the happiest man alive." We both cried, I said , "YES!!!!" Oh yeah and all this time He had our families together, they were watching all of us on the monitor in the hallway outside the Xcape room. And YES we escaped too!
