#DKlove Ready

The best man, Larry Pleasant and Matron of Honor, Monica Chatman were the conduits that brought Daryl and I together. One day, Larry, Monica and I, were at a bowling party and Larry says, "How about meeting Daryl tonight? Realizing that was too short of a notice, Larry then says, "What if Daryl hosted a Super Bowl party, would you go?" I said, "Yes." After telling Larry 'yes' I thought "this is awkward-so you’re going to ask your best friend (Daryl) to host a party at his house so that a stranger can meet him at his home “in hope” that there would be an attraction or connection. This guy must be really awesome. A month and some dates later, March 10 to be exact, Daryl and I ended up having dinner at the Weber Grill. As we are sitting at the table waiting for our food, Daryl says to me, 'I normally don’t ask this early in a relationship but I feel something special between us, a connection and I want you to be my woman.' I was surprised and said, ‘I don't know, I can’t promise you anything, let’s just see where it goes." ( However, within my heart, I felt like this was different, sincere and special, but fear had me skeptical). Fast forward, 2 years later, same date, March 10, same place, the Weber Grill Daryl takes me to dinner, I thought to celebrate our anniversary. As we are waiting, Daryl coincidently, knocked the menu on the floor. I look over as he goes to pick it up and Daryl is on one knee, and little black box and this gorgeous ring beaming from his hand as he says, "last time we were here, I asked you to be my woman , this time I'm asking you to be my wife! I said, "YES!" Who knew that a Super Bowl party at Daryl's house would lead to day where we profess our love and commitment to one another amongst our most cherished loved ones.
