We met when mutual friends invited us to a Yankee game and we ended up sharing a few beers in the parking lot talking about pinstripes. However, after the tailgate we ended up getting split among friends for the remainder of the game. We both were intrigued but thought nothing of it. It wasn't until a friend needed an extra person for a Fire Island share house that our sparks finally flew - we shared a few more beers and finally a kiss among our best friends on the dance floor! This was when we finally thought, "Hey! This could be something..."
On our annual trip to Florida, he sent me to pick up my sister from the airport with my father. When we returned to the house, we were surrounded by our families as a song produced by my little brother played in the background. I watched as everyone whipped out their phones and I turned to him in confusion. He was standing in my parents kitchen, surrounded by a "SHE SAID YES" banner, beautiful white balloons and a gold sequins backdrop that our Moms had used to set the scene. Written on a ring chalk board read "Will you spend forever with me?" I walked over to him asking first if he was serious, then if this was for real, until I finally reached him, bent down on one knee and shouted YES!
