We're Getting Married!

It was a Tuesday night and I had gone to dinner with a friend I hadn't seen in a while in St. Cloud a town I didn't visit often since graduating college. After dinner we decided to go grab a drink a the bar next door. As we were walking over a cute guy was standing outside, and he smiled at me and said hi to us. My friend knew him so she said hi and we kept walking inside. After we grabbed a seat at the bar and received our drinks I looked over at him and his friends playing darts. I said to her, "Who's that" she got all excited, "that's Joe, you'd love Joe!" she called it! We went over and joined him and his friends playing darts, we hung out all night playing darts and finished the night with Martinis. Joe got my number from my friend, and texted us the next day to see me again. We spent the day together at the pool, and we've been together ever since.

Joe and I have known for a while that we wanted to spend our lives together. We had talked about weddings, and discussed that destination is what fits both of our wants the best. While I was in Vegas with my friends I told Joe he should come out, and we could get married! He couldn’t come that weekend, but we could go back! We decided to go back for my birthday. So we asked a few of our closest friends what weekends they could go to Vegas, and we started planning. So I guess technically this is when we got engaged. However my sweet man was not going to allow this to be our story, when I came home from work on Thursday Joe told me to leave my work bags in the car. When I walked into the house every candle we own was burning, and he was playing Brad Paisleys, Everything. He got down on one knee, and said, “baby will you marry me?” I started crying, and obviously said, “yes!”
