We met working at the police station on SVSU's campus - and at that time, we were just friends. He says he knew I was the one from the first time he saw me, but I think he's just being a romantic.
When everything aligned, it all fell into place. We went from friends to more than, and we haven't looked back since. I knew he was the one when he stood in the middle of a thunderstorm with me, watching the lightning and listening to the booms of thunder (he's terrified of storms!).
He proposed with a flower, one I had given him as friends the first year we met. He kept that same flower for three years, and got down on one knee. In that moment, he showed that he could care for a little flower his best friend gave him three years ago --- and I knew he could care for me for the rest of forever.
