John and I have both always loved anything having to do with Christmas, and how we met is no exception. It was 8 days before Christmas in 2011, my mom and I had stopped at a tree lot that we'd never been to before, and John happened to be working. He showed my mom and I several potential trees, and when we settled on a tree that we liked, he gave us a great deal. He even offered to deliver it to our house for free. At the suggestion of my mom, I gave John my phone number, just in case he got lost on his way to deliver the tree, (he did). After John made it the right house and set the tree up in our living room, I walked him back to his truck. We made small talk about what high school we each went to, and then he left. A few minutes later, my phone buzzed with a text message. It was a message from John saying "We should hang out sometime :)". The rest is history!
We decided to take an impromptu weekend trip to Cape May. While we were there, we stopped in a Christmas and ornament store that we always visited when were in town. That night, the store was decorated for the holidays and Santa and Mrs. Claus were there taking photos with the customers. After browsing for a bit, John suggested we get a photo. We posed for the picture, and I turned to thank them. As I turned back around, John got down on one knee, and Mrs. Claus held up a sign that read "Will you 'merry' me?" I bet you can guess what I said... "ABOUT TIME!" Just kidding! I said yes, duh.
