Where it all began

Meet the #newlywoods

We originally met while playing in a kickball league against each other. Don made a sarcastic comment to me about how I looked like I was having "so much fun". I was guarding third base, likely looking miserable. I was dating someone else at the time and some months had gone by since that first happenstance meeting. We met yet again, this time both of us were single and enjoying a night out with our friends at the Lucas Confectionary Winebar. I was not interested in anything, fresh out of a relationship. But, never the less Don kept glancing my way with his friends, having recognized me from kickball (so he claims). My friend Rachael joined the party and I mentioned that "this guy keeps staring at me, but he isn't coming up to say anything". Rachael, quicker than I could stop her, goes up to Don and kicks him in the back of the leg and says "this is my friend Jenna, she's ready to get out there and meet people". Don immediately shot me his contagious smile and said, "hey my name is Don, want to meet my friends". We talked on and off for several months before I finally realized that Don was exactly what I needed, and I knew that this was someone who could really be the one. Fast forward 3.5 years and you find him on one knee at the same winebar, in front of most of the same people that were there the night we first met. He said "It has been said you have to start a new chapter back where all the good times began" Then only in the way Donald can- ring in his hand he asked "what do you say baby?!" And this new, wonderful chapter began..
