We first met back in 2005, working at a local pizza place in our hometown. Working as a counter girl and delivery driver! A mutual friend exchanged our...ready for this one... SCREEN NAMES, and it all started there. I attended a show where John's band was playing and waited all night to get one of the band's t-shirts. When he came off the stage I asked him "Um, when am I getting a shirt?". He handed me his own shirt, and I was crazy about him. Our love story began...
With our 15 year dating anniversary approaching, we hadn't yet made a plan! Or so I thought.... We got up early on the morning of our 15 year anniversary and I went to go have my hair done at the salon, just so I could look nice for our day... And we went to the Bronx Zoo, in New York. The zoo was always kind of our thing so it wasn't anything unusual. Next, on the way home, John told me to get cleaned up and changed, we were going to "a restaurant" for dinner. John brought me back to that pizza parlor where our story first started 15 years ago! The owner, who was in on the whole thing, brought us over to the fancy dining section of the restaurant, which held the biggest surprise... Our families and closest friends were ALL there waiting!! Tears already started just thinking to myself "WOW he got them all here to celebrate 15 years of being together!". Then my handsome future fiancé, got down on his knee and asked me to marry him!! A moment I hoped for, for so long!! Falling to my knees and cried through my YES.. I have never felt so much love in one room! It was PERFECT.
