How we met twice as nice

First come Mardi Gras then comes Marriage

Albany, GA Mardi Gras 2012 we end up at the same party and were introduced by our frat brother Sky. We instantly hit it off and over the course of two weeks go on a few dates. The date that displaced us for 2 years was the Joe and Kem concert. . . We go and have a great time, we go out after for more live music featuring JDiva on the mic ;-) and head home this is where it goes left. He asks "what are you doing tomorrow?" I say "Idk what are you doing tomorrow?" He says "waking up to you" After shutting that down I zoned out. . Now Jimmy says he said he would have slept on the couch but I was over it by then and I guess on his 45 minute drive home he was over it too! 2 years later we see each other again at a party where I was celebrating my birthday. We took our first picture together and talked about how much we liked each other the first time and how stubborn we both had been. To this day we both are sticking to our version of the story!! Anywho He asks me to be his lady for life after we took our first road trip and although I said yes to a relationship I had no idea I was literally agreeing to the words that came out his mouth "his lady for life". We have been enjoying our favorite things like traveling, movies, concerts, tailgating, dancing, and loving each other ever since. They say its better the second time around and in this instance I believe them!

The Proposal

Red Rose Petals

So of course we were displaced after our first concert and it was before a concert that solidified our forever. At the time Jimmy was living in Columbus, GA and I was in Albany and 8 times out of 10 I'm late to basically everything but a few days prior we had a conversation about punctuality so I was on a mission. I woke up extra early that day headed to Columbus for our date. I texted him to say I had made it and he immediately called me saying let's go eat. I let him know that I was shopping and getting my nails done so he was ok with that and said he was going to the mall. After a while he is asking for my whereabouts and pictures of my nails and I'm thinking man why but hey he's showing concern so I answer and send pics but I didn't let him know I was on the way to his house. I pull in the driveway and he runs out to my car and says bae let's go to the mall! I'm thinking man didn't you already go to the mall but again I indulged him, I was really calm that day. We go and come back and usually he would open my door and get my bag but that time he left me hanging and hurried inside. I walk in to the house and am overwhelmed with the sight of Red Rose Petals on the floor with candles that spelled out MARRY ME. On the walls were cascading lights, on the side tables pictures of us, and the main table a tall vase of a dozen Red Roses, Luc Belaire Rose, and lobster dinner. Now I'm taking this all in meanwhile Jimmy is still down on one knee. I finally walk over to him as he speaks words of affection and asks the big question to which I replied with a tearful YES. As we are hugging in walks 1 of my best friends Phaedra who he called to assist in the proposal set up and my mom and step dad. We then watched an amazing video he put together months earlier of him going to get my ring sized, asking my mother for my hand in marriage, and him saying why he loved me. We proceeded to go to the Charlie Wilson concert and the song There Goes My Baby has been our song ever since!
