We're getting married!

March 14, 2020. One of us knew we were being set up, one of us did not. Meeting in a movie theater, chaperoned by our mutual friend, we passed beef jerky and Milk Duds before leaving the dark theater and seeing each other in the light for the first time. March 21, 2020. Stanley hosted a lovely dinner party in an effort to see Kelly again and oops, Stanley "accidentally" got Kelly's car towed (so he says). May 29th, 2020. After FaceTiming while being apart during the beginning months of the pandemic, Stanley flew from Texas to Connecticut to take Kelly on a picnic for her birthday. Lilies and Twizzlers in one hand with roses in the other, Kelly knew she was in deep when she saw his bright smile once again. Stanley rolled a red cooler with a Red Velvet cake and other treats inside to a patch of yellow roses at a nearby rose garden where he sang "Happy Birthday" to celebrate. He had insisted that there wouldn't be "fireworks" between them that day, but of course, he was very wrong. December 11, 2021. With that same red cooler, Stanley walked Kelly out to her favorite lighthouse in Gloucester, MA to a rock with a dozen yellow roses laid across. Reminiscent of that first real date, he took Kelly by the hands, got down on one knee, and asked her to marry him. Yes, yes, she said, "yes". May 19, 2022. Lord willing, the day we say "I do" with you!
