We each have a different story about the first time we met. I met him at church where we were introduced briefly in a large group. i noticed him right away, but he doesn't remember meeting me until later that week when our friend invited us both to the Swing and Ballroom Club's welcome back dance. I only went because I was hoping he would be there, and he was! I had swing danced before so I taught him what I knew and we quickly became friends. It only took a few months before we started dating.

He thought he could be sneaky by planning to propose on my birthday. I would suspect nothing of a dinner at my favorite restaurant with our parents and a sunset walk on the beach. He was wrong; I saw it coming from a mile away. None the less it was still magical and we both started crying before he even got the words out.
