We actually had ran in the same circles most of high school and afterwards, but never ran into each other. Well one night at Sharks and Shooters talking about my birthday lunch and I took a leap of faith and sent him a message giving him my number. Well the lunch never happened but he came over for movie night at my house and told me he liked me, I honestly had no idea until then but I'm glad he did!
He planned it so perfectly! I had no idea it was coming because I was so happy to be going to Charlotte for the St. Patrick's Day pub crawl that just so happened to fall on my birthday that year. He was going to do it on the stage in front of everyone but was told no, their insurance wouldn't cover it. So the backup plan was to get a few of our friends to distract me while he got down on one knee. I turned around and he gave me a 3 minute speech that as much as I'd love to say I heard every word of it, I didn't lol. All I heard was the beginning and the end where he asked me to be his wife. It took me a second to realize what was going on and I'm sure my pause didn't make him feel good about doing it in front of hundreds of people, but of course I said yes!
