While we've always known each other, the stars aligned for us August 10, 2017. Our friendship quickly grew into a courtship and our courtship shortly became our long distance relationship. We’ve stood the test of distance, now here’s to standing the test of time. To infinity & Beyond.
"Ah, Lets See.....August 2017, we ended up texting. Somebody told me that we would make a really good/cute couple. We became really good friends. A week or two later, I looked up and we were best friends. And thus far we've been best friends in a relationship for about 3 years now; A little over 3 years. And I must say, it has been THE BEST 3 Years I could ever ask for. ....I fell in love with you from Day 1. I remember looking at my friends, texting them saying, "Yall, Maya's the one and I'm going to marry her". It doesn't mean that our journey has been perfect. We've had our ups and downs. We've had our battles. We've had our good moments too. But... I never could've expected to reach this moment and I'm so happy to be doing it with you. We've grown together. I've seen you grow from a some-what immature and childish college student, to a GROWN WOMAN. Like I'm staring at you today and I.... I...I'm...it's.. it's amazing. It amazes me how far you've come, how far we've come together. I know you didnt expect to see this today. And I kind of felt like you were a little bit down in the car. I can see a smile on your face now and that makes me happy.... SO I have one question, Maya Leigh Thompson, WILL YOU MARRY ME?" "YES"
Usually first dates consist of dinner, movies, and maybe a walk in the park but our first date looked like us sitting on top of his hummer looking at the stars all night until it was too cold to be outside. We sat in the car and said absolutely nothing. We stared in each others eyes, held hands and listen to "From Time" on repeat until we were too tired to do that. It was simple, sweet, and it was the beginning of the rest of our life.
