Believe it or not we met online. We chatted for a bit and then decided to meet up for our first date. Long story short we met up at Red Lobster for a dinner date. He thanked me for going out with him. I told him no problem I try to make sure I do charity work every once in a while. We laughed and laughed and that was it. We quickly fell in like and then love and the rest is history.

Ricky and my sister secretly colluded for weeks. On New Year's Eve I walked out into my aunt's backyard and there he was surrounded by most of my favorite people in the world. Next to him stood my niece and little cousin holding signs that asked that very special 4 word question. He said some really sweet things that I sure wish I heard. All I remember is saying YES!
