Two Becoming One

Our eyes met for the first time at a local event in Casper, WY. He and his friends walked up and introduced themselves to me and my group of friends. We continued to talk for quite a while until my friends and I had to leave. I didn't think anything of it until the next day. My friend Tyffani called to tell me that one of the guys we met the night before meant to get my number, but I had already left. Nick asked Tyffani to, "give that short girl my number." Keep in mind that while I am only 4' 10," Nick is 6' 4" so most girls are short. I ended up texting him the next day, which led to our first date on 08/23/2015. The first date started off a little rocky, I believe because he was nervous, but I remember getting home that night simply positive that I could easily spend the rest of my life with someone as handsome and goofy as Nick. Turns out I was right.

It was a random Sunday morning after I got home from running errands. I asked Nick to come help with the groceries and he asked me to come up to the house first. Thinking he needed to finish something up I agreed and went upstairs. The door was locked so I began to unlock it when he suspiciously opened it and greeted me in the entry way. He looked so handsome and dressed up. I started to feel anxious and excited hoping it was what I thought it was. I walked in to see a beautiful display of rose pedals on the kitchen counter and in the middle was the enchanted rose case from Beauty and the Beast with a rose and ring case inside. When he got on his knee, in my nervousness, the only words that came to my mind were, "Did you ask my dad?". When he nodded I took him in my arms and, with eyes filling with tears of joy, I told him "yes!".
