It all started with a mutual friend's wedding, stuffing envelopes, not thinking much of one another. He had a she, and she had a he. Crossed paths again at her place of work and he didn't recognize her, but he had charm so it smoothed over. Life went on and on. People separated, reunited; life ebbed and flowed. Met again, and it clicked, maybe this crazy and random run-ins could be more. On one cold New Years Eve night, after many coffee dates, walks and talks, it just made sense.

Fast forward passed hardships, growth, moving in together, getting a dog, going to Spain, moving, loving and being best friends. It was a normal date night with close friends, at our favorite bars, celebrating the newness that is of the New Year, he showed all their friends the ring that was burning a hole in his pocket while she wasn't looking. Countdown. One knee. Lots of tears and disbelief. Lots of love. We were engaged.
