Christopher and I first met in August of 2016. Before we met, I was told by my friend Christina that I would be set up with Christopher one day. On August 20th, 2016, we were both planning to celebrate Christina's birthday in the city, but right before we were getting on the train he said he was no longer coming. Then we got to the Wantagh train station, the doors opened and there he was. He ended up showing up! We were introduced to one another and it's been history from there. "Here we are today!"
Christopher found a spot for us to go visit one day before we got engaged. He took me to a place in Stonybrook at Avalon Park and Nature Preserve. Within their trail there is a spot where you could write letter to loved ones in heaven. When we first went here, he wrote a note to my father saying he cannot wait to marry me one day and he hopes he’d have his blessing. On the day we got engaged he took me, mother, sister, brother-in-law, and nephew there to show them all about this location. When you walk up there is a spot with postcards and pencils, so you could write your letter. I wrote mine and started walking towards the sphere and I said to him, “wait, you didnt write anything” and he said, “I wrote something already”. I was so confused and we approached the sphere and I put my letter in and he told me he wanted to read me his letter before he put it in. Within the letter he expressed to my father how much he loves me, how much I mean to him, and asked for his blessing! Then he got down on one knee and asked me to spend forever with him!!
