When Shawn and I had first met, I never believed in fairytales. We first met on Tinder. I remember thinking with that first text; this is it. The first time we ever met at peppinos for our first date, I was so nervous. I wasn’t good at dating, and I certainly wasn’t good with meeting new people. Looking him in the eyes that night, I had never felt so safe or so happy. We talked for quite a while before we made it official. I remember the first time he went to meet my dad, to make sure he approved. My dad said to me, he’s a keeper. Life had never been better. The last test was the kids. As soon as Shawn walked through the door, it was instantly a connection and a bond. I could go on forever about how much of a good man he is, but I don’t need to tell you. If you know Shawn, then you know you already know. After only 8 months of dating, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. And now you are up to speed on where we are. This is the day I’ve been waiting for my whole life. We cannot wait to take this next step in life together and for all of you to be right here besides us as we become husband and wife.
