We’re Getting Married!!

Summer 2015 The first time i met jacob was in panamal city beach, summer of 2015. He was very shy at first, but i got through to him. We were both on vacation with our family, both in a condo that were right on top of each other. I was on the top condo and he was on the bottom condo. Like i said he was very shy at first, it took me almost a week for him to talk to me! The last few days was when we really talked to each other. A year goes by of me always going over to his house to hang out, him taking me out on dates and before we know it we are back at the same condo, in the summer time on vacation with our family. That year was alittle different. We were closer, always hanging out on the beach being goofy. There was a night, i couldn’t tell you the exact night but i can describe it. That night we were sitting in front some hotel just talking. When a young man approched us, having a small talk conversation. He asked if we were together, no we both answered, he asked if were dating anyone, we both answered no again. He turns to jacob, asking him why haven’t he hasnt made a move on me? At this point we were bothing getting red, he says then yall both seem to like each other kiss her dude. We finally did. I don’t know where this young man came from, at the time i thought he was just another wantabe guy on the beach. However now, i believe he was a gift from God. If it wasnt for that young man pushing us together we wouldnt be here today where we are. A few months after our trip to the beach, we got together. We couldnt be happier and cant wait to share our love with our friends and family!

All enagement stories i see are all lovely and overly the top. From beach proposals to fancey dinners or places. Jacob and I are alittle different. After a year dating we took the big step of moving in together. Our first home wasn’t an appartment with heat, ac and all that fun stuff. We didn’t spend an arm and a leg on renting a house or buying one. We had his little family farm house. It was on some land in Marietta. It was a beautiful home. It didn’t have heat, ac or a working dish washer. We almost stuck in the late 1950s as it felt like. Of us working all the time, having adult times come into our life that shook us from time to time, we always saw each other as a married couple. We shared everything, from our cars, money and struggles to the good things in life. There was a night at my brothers baseball game, us sitting there with my mom. She was introducing people to us, and the way she did was, this is my daughter and her fiance. It didnt hit us till after we left. Now ive been asking jacob for months at a time when are we getting married, i stop a month or two ago before this night happen. As we were leaving Jacob looks at me, and says, You know babe, i think its our time to get married. I said excuse me? Cause i couldn’t believe that came out of his mouth! He said I want to get married, i don’t know when and don’t know where but i want to marry you. Do you want to marry me? And of course i said yes! That thanks giving,2018,we shared that we were enaged. We didnt know when we were going to get married but why does it have to be a rush after you get enaged you know? Our enagement story isnt like all the ones you see and hear about, and im okay with that, im glad its not like everyone elses. Thats what makes our story different than everyone elses and i love that.

As Jacob and I were discusing rings before and after we got enaged. I told him I didn’t want some random ring out of Kay Jewelers or something on that line. I told him I wanted a ring from an non-broken marriage. So ethier my grandmothers ring from her second marriage, that was taken away by God because it was his time; or from his great aunts and uncles marriage. We went with my grandmothers. Its the simple rings you see around, theres a picture in our photo gallery if you want to see it. However, i love my little ring, it has such a powerful meaning to the back story and now my life.
