We’re Getting Married !

Growing up in a small town where everyone knows everyone, it didn’t take long for us to become aware of one another. I (Alyssa) first became aware of Keith when I got a message in my inbox over Facebook, (2011). He attempted many times even had friends message me for him sometimes lol. I wasn’t sure of him yet given at the time I was in a relationship. Over the next few years I kept running into him, or guy friends of mine would mention him, so I always referred to him as “the guy who won’t stop hitting on me” lol. Bring us now to 2015, I (Keith) was scrolling over Facebook ... once again... and a friend on my page had posted a picture... there she was.... I found her! After all these years I finally found her again. Tagged in a picture I clicked on her name. Within the next few days I gained the courage to message her again. We started talking and hanging out, gained a friendship that turned into forever. Little did I know with that one message I would have found my wife and my future.

We were 8 months pregnant, on our last trip before the baby came. We got all ready for “maternity pictures” that Keith insisted we do on our trip. On the way over to Chincoteague Island, headed to the beach at sunset, Keith plays all these romantic songs. Just as we arrive onto the beach he plays our song! (Say you won’t let go-James Arthur). We get out of the car walk up to the beach and we found a perfect shell! The pictures start, I (Keith) get down on one knee pretending to kiss her belly really I get out the ring trying not to drop it. She looks at me and I say..... “me and Mareena are already Oister’s we were wondering if you would want to be one too” .... she said yes ....
