Falling In Love

Kris and I first met at a gas station by his work. As soon as we saw each other there was an immediate connection. He was easy to talk to, very respectful and kind, and obviously adorable with his little awkward self. When both of us had to leave, he texted me and said he can't stop smiling, and neither could I! I felt in my heart that he was something special.

Our first date was at Piper's Diner in Flat Rock, MI. It was a Wednesday evening, he picked me up from my parent's house, and I suggested where to go. It was maybe a 10-minute drive. When he parked, we got out of his truck and he walked up to me, grabbed my arm, and kissed me. Needless to say, my face was as hot as the sun. During dinner, Kris was a little shy at first, and I wasn't as much, which is a surprise because anyone who knows me, knows how shy I am when it comes to meeting anyone for the first time. We talked and laughed the entire time and I knew from that point on that this is where we're supposed to be.

The topic of engagements and weddings came up because we were watching something together (I can't remember what show it was), and I made a joke about him proposing. Kris looked at me, I was lying down on the couch and he was sitting at the other end of it, and he said "Marry me." I didn't believe him at first and still didn't believe him until the next day when we went to look at engagement rings. I don't think I truly believed it until my engagement ring came back from being sized to fit my finger. Sometimes I joke with him and tell him he didn't propose to me the "right way", but honestly I wouldn't want him to do it any other way. It was very untraditional and that's perfect. I still ask him here and there if he meant to ask me to marry him, he tells me I have a ring on my finger so obviously, he meant it. He is my best friend and I can't imagine a life without him in it.

When Kris and I met, there was an immediate connection. It was almost as if we were the same person. There wasn't much of an awkward "we just met" phase. We can talk about anything and everything, and just about finish each other's sentences. Kris and I love playing jokes on each other and being silly together. He is the sweetest, most loving person I have ever met. Although our relationship is still "new", and some might say we're rushing things, I can assure you we'd have it no other way. I truly believe in my heart that I have found my person, the one I am supposed to share my life with. I feel like I've known him my whole life. We're practically the same person! Kris is my best friend, my soulmate, and I don't want to share my life with anyone else.
