AMIA We were both fresh out of relationships that simply weren't beneficial for either one of us. I initially started looking for new people to hang out with and decided to go on a dating website. Little did I know the person I messaged was Marci. We both immediately sparked up conversation and decided to meet up for lunch maybe a day or two later. On our first meeting we were both nervous and laughing. I loved that I could laugh with her and she really enjoyed my jokes. We met up later that day for drinks and dinner and from that point into dating Marci told me I was the one for her. She spent weeks, going into months, telling me that we were the "perfect match" but I spent that time trying to fight it and not trying to simply jump into another relationship, (being cautious). Marci remained persistent and knew I was what she wanted. Her parents definitely raised a determined individual because just like Steve Urkel did Laura Winslow she wore me down, She remained true to who she was and was always a listening ear, a support system for me, and more than anything became my best friend. MARCI It was morning and I decided to scroll on Facebook. While scrolling, I see this picture of a stunning selfie of one of my Facebook friends captioned "Morning" Of course I had to heart the picture. She was absolutely beautiful and I wanted her to know I noticed her! I thought nothing of it and kept on scrolling. After I was done scrolling on Facebook I decided to log into a dating app that I was on at the time to check my messages. In my inbox I had a new message! I could not believe my eyes! That stunning selfie picture that I loved just a few moments ealier...it was her! She had sent me a message! Coincidence? I think not! It was destiny! From that point on we were inseparable! She played "I am ready for love" by India Arie on her guitar for me on our first date and I was IN LOVE! She wasn't really ready for a relationship but I WAS! And the rest is history.... ....
AMIA I knew I wanted to propose to Marci after 2 years of dating. It didn't help that Marci was dropping hints of marriage after 4 months of seriously dating lol. So I made a plan with some of my work friends to have a 90s throw back party with karaoke. I decided that I wanted to sing the HER song with Daniel Ceasar called "Best Part", I bought her ring and picked it out 3 months before the party. We all had a good time celebrating my 38 birthday. While Marci was busy chatting with some work friends at the party I made my move and began to sing. Everyone turned around and started paying attention to the song..Marci was oblviious to what was going on and I made my way over to her. I ended up on one knee and asked her to marry me... And thats how we ended up here
