Fotios and I both had somewhat of the same friend group, though that night at the Oxford bar (in Havre, MT) was the first time we had actually met. He went to the bar because some friends forced him out, I went out because it was my night off and figured I deserved a drink...or ten. Fotios swears to this day that the moment he first saw me all he thought was 'I want her to be mine'. Which is bold considering he didn't know who I was, but I knew him. That whole night we both drank to build up the courage to talk to one another while making googly-eyes. A couple hours in our group ended up moving to the Shanty Bar just down the road. We both started hitting that point of drunkenness that one of us had to make a move. Well... the wrong move was taken. Another guy came up and started kissing me, of which I pushed him away and thought 'farewell to my chances with Fotios'. I sobered up real quick, Fotios drank more, and I gave him and his friend a ride home. Fotios and I sat in my truck for a couple hours just talking, listening to music - he was the most interesting person I had ever met. Then he kissed me, literally leaping over my center consol. I didn't want this kiss to stop, but it was around 4am and I was tired. Ever since then Fotios and I have really hit it off. We spent everyday together until I moved 160 miles away, but I promised to come see him almost every weekend. A promise I kept till he moved to Glasgow, MT with me!
Plan A didn't go to plan, which was proposing to me on Senior Night for college football in November - but one thing lead to another and Fotios ended up hurting his foot and the season for him was over. We went to my parents house in Polson, MT to get away for a few days and see my grandparents from Idaho. Plan B was in action when my grandma brought me some meds from my dermatologist and my dad thought it would be a good idea to just slip the ring in one of the pill bottles. Poured the bottle out in my hand and there falls out a beautiful ring. Fotios got on one knee and said "You mean the world to me. I love you. Will you marry me?" BOYYYY I bawled like a little girl, I barely got "yes" out from being all chocked up. Everyone in my family was crying and I said "I didn't think you'd ask now". But am I ever so thankful he did. I didn’t expect that kind of proposal, but we wanted to be together so why not?
