Two shall become One

Oh boy! Well, to start we have Village Inn to thank for our meeting. I was a closing server and Eric was a closing cook. We had worked together and never spoke. I told quite a few people about how handsome he was. One morning, this drunk lady and her daughter came in to eat. i asked this lady what she would like to eat. She replied a sexy dark skinned man. I instantly smiled, and ran to the back of the restaurant. I grabbed Eric and told him to come out to the table. After what seemed like hours of convincing i got him out to the table and told her here was her order. After that night i added Eric on face book. He added me to his snapchat and that was all she wrote. 2 1/2 years later here we are planning our forever.

Eric and I have both been in bad relationships previous. We were both pretty damaged when we first got together. I had just gotten divorced, and Eric just got out of a 12 year relationship. When we first got together we were so shocked on how quickly we clicked. The whole time we were dating it never felt like it was forced, it never felt awkward. It felt right from the very first time. After 2 weeks of being together every single day, we moved in together. We became best friends, and lovers so fast! 7 months into our relationship, we went on our first family vacation. Seeing the pure love, and joy in Eric and our Kids face was priceless. Since being together and moving in together our life has had up and downs but through it all we knew we wanted each other for ever. We knew after being with each other for a couple months that we were made for each other and were going to spend our lives together.

We did not have a typical proposal. We had been talking about marriage off and on for a couple months. One day we were at his Mothers house and she asked when we were getting married and Eric without hesitation said next summer. Boom, we were engaged. lol before my grandfather passed away he picked a diamond ring out for me, and that's my engagement ring. i couldn't be more excited to have the engagement ring i have because when i look at my hand i think of 2 of the most important men to me.

When planning our wedding i had originally picked out the date, venue, colors, bridesmaids, and budget all figured out. Well, Eric had different plans. Now 2 dates, 5 venues, 3 bridesmaid/groomsman changes, budget changes, menu, colors.....okay lets be real every single thing i picked my Fiance wanted something different. The first year of wedding planning was crap. Everything got changed, messed up, unnecessarily stressful. Every brides worst nightmare had happened. Finally at 8 months before the changed wedding date, wedding planning got on track! They say opposites attract.....i say they are right! During wedding planning, i found SO MUCH out about my fiance.
