We met in 2009 when Destiny and I were hanging out at the park and she had the idea to see if her old friend still lived nearby. We walked to his house and he agreed to come hang out with us. When he went inside to put on shoes i turned to Destiny and said, "Can I have him?". After that day we didn't hang out until a complicated series of events led our mutual friends to begin dating. Then in 2011 after a few weeks of hanging out I asked him to be my boyfriend and he said yes, finally after 8 years it was my turn to say yes . I like to think of it as my fairy tale even if it's long and complicated. On the day of our wedding it will have been a full 9 years since that day and well worth every second.
