We’re getting married!

Monte’ was residing in Georgia and saw a photo of Felecia via his friends FaceBook page. He was oh so mesmerized with that photo that sparked his attention. He once said, “If I can get to her and show her who I am, she will be my wife”! Little did he know, it would be the women that he’d spend the rest of his life with. Life happened after the closeout of his career in the military which led him to the DMV area where she lived. Although they didn’t know one another he continuously asked his friend about her. The memory of that photo stuck in his head as he inquired about her for over a year or so. During the most devastating moment in her life, he’d heard the passing of her mother. He did the most admirable gesture and sent flowers to her mother’s funeral. Keep in mind they’d never met face to face. A few weeks past and she contacted him via social media to thank him. He didn’t ask her out at this time but continued to watch her from afar. They sometimes shared the same workout studio where they met for the first time. Upon meeting they embraced with a hug and both left with a lasting impression. A few months past and Monte’ saw the perfect opportunity to ask Felecia out! On a flight to one of her many races, she made a Facebook post about wanting to ask a perfect stranger for a piece of candy. When she returned, Monte' made sure she'd never have that problem again by delivering to her a bag of her favorite candies for future trips, and also asking her to dinner. During their first date, she asked why he had taken so long to ask her out. He replied that he was unemployed for a short time while transitioning from the military, and did not want to approach her until he had obtained that employment (which he had just gotten days before). From that day, they have been virtually inseparable.
