We met at a party at my friend’s house. Paul was her boyfriend’s best friend. I was not looking for a relationship and neither was he. I remember trying to avoid contact with all the guys at the party, but Paul was very sweet and polite. We all decided to go to “Vanity” night club after the party. Paul asked my friend to invite me to talk with him in the DJ’s booth so we could get to know each other. I went, stayed for 5 min and then left. He sent one of his friend’s after me but I had a long drive home so I had to leave. I woke up at 3 am to a sweet SMS from Paul asking me on a date. I decided to give a try and here we are.

I had a busy and stressful day at work. Paul called me when I was 5 min from home and said that we have to find a castle nearby to take pictures for Camryn’s school assignment which was due the next morning. To be honest I got upset because she left the assignment to the last minute, but I said I would go with him. He said the only castle he knew is in Meriden, about 15 min from home. We decided to go and when we finally arrived I started to take pictures and videos. Paul said let’s go all the way up and take pictures from there. I was taking a hundred pictures when I turned around he was on his knee. I was so surprised and happy at the same time. It was the most beautiful ring I’ve ever seen. 💍
