<3

it all started with a mutual right-swipe; that's right, we met on *tinder* - a dating app. Our first conversation had to do with our music taste, which was insanely the same. We talked for a few days until we decided to meet for a spontaneous lunch in the middle of a work day. That was our first date first date - unplanned and to a sushi place. He showed up in jorts, a work t-shirt and sawdust. I rolled in, comfy clothes and no make-up, hair probably in a bun. He ordered my food for me (and he still does), we ate, we talked, we reluctantly went back to work... but only for a few hours because we both got off early. We linked right back up. That was our second date - Duckworths, we sat at the bar, drank dark beers, and talked until we parted ways again. That same day, we had our third date - on my front porch. We spent hours listening to screamo music and talking nonstop... until he kissed me. Both of us knew then that we had a story to live together. ...okay, maybe David knew first, but I knew it deep down. He pursued me until I stopped resisting and asked him to date me. The rest of it is a beautiful blur. We went on a road-trip (to see a show), he met my family and we decided we would move in together when we got back. Instant family - my two daughters and his son, we had three kids suddenly. We were taught many lessons, we had ups, we had downs, and we've always had each other... then we had another. David and I, spontaneously (that seems to be the theme here - spontaneity), went to Puerto Rico. We ate, we danced, we fell deeper in love... and we also conceived our son there. The last piece to our family puzzle. It was when I was pregnant that he asked me to marry him. It's been about three years since then. We debated getting eloped, we've almost done it a few times, but we decided on a wedding - so here we are, writing another chapter together! WE'RE GETTING MARRIED! thank you for being here with us, and for witnessing our love grow as we've grown over the last 6 years. ------------------------------------------------------ "you know you're living when it all becomes a blur" ------------------------------------------------------
