Our Special Day!

When Dylan and I met, I was honestly in another relationship. He had messaged me over instagram asking for my number and at the time I didn’t respond to him. A few days later me and this other guy ended up breaking things off and for some odd reason I had remembered the messages Dylan sent. I texted him back and told him to give me his number. We talked for hours over the phone that first night and the next day he asked me to come over. Of course I was nervous at first and was texting everyone I could think of to find out if it was a good idea or not. Something in me told me to go for it. I went over to his house and honestly I felt super weird about it, He had his friends over so I couldn’t really tell if it was the real Dylan I was talking to or if he was just putting on a show for his friends. Later that night we went out to my car and we talked, it was a moment i’ll never forget. From then on we were with each other every single day. I soon fell for him, and within a few weeks/ a month he told me he loved me. At that time I wasn’t sure how things were going to play out and if i’m truthful, i didn’t say it back. I couldn’t help but want more from him. His family didn’t seem to like me at all and I just felt that if I was gonna spend the rest of my life with this man I had to do something to make sure his family would love and accept me. Eventually I became less shy around them and we all finally started to have some fun together. A few weeks afterwards, I told him I loved him.

Where we come from there’s always a lot going on at the race track in my hometown. Dylans uncle had a race car and he raced, I very very quickly became obsessed with going to the races to be with his family and cheer his uncle on. It was an every Friday night thing. Eventually after the summer months were coming to a close and our racing adventure would soon be over Dylan and I were madly in love with each other. I remember sitting in the bleachers and being so excited to be there when all the sudden Dylan looks over at me and says “What about April” Now in my mind i’m thinking “Ya what about April?” then he says “to get married” At this point i’m almost in tears and ready to run circles around the man. We set a date for April 2021. If you know me my grandparents have played a huge role in my life and since I was little I have always wanted my grandfathers approval on everything I did. I told Dylan that if he wanted to marry me that he had to ask my grandpa for permission because I knew that if papaw didn’t see him fit then I shouldn’t marry him. I went to work the next week and my grandma brought Dylan to our house. He was super nervous but eventually worked up the courage to ask him. My grandpa was very happy he asked and told him yes but he had one request... that we wait until I graduated school. We agreed and then set our date for June of 2021. I knew if papaw thought he was a good man for me than He was the one I needed to marry.
