In 2019 Paige was working at the bank in Kannapolis and Silas was the manager for the Kannapolis 7-Eleven. A couple times a week Silas would bring in deposits and get change for the store. BOTH of them felt a spark, and were too afraid to speak up. (Let me make this perfectly clear…Paige was CHEESEBALL in love. The number of times she tripped over a chair, said have a great weekend on a Monday, said “great, how are you” after already saying it…her coworkers LAUGHED THEIR ASSES OFF at how pitiful they both were!!) Paige thought one day she had the courage to finaly give him her number. She drove to 7-Eleven, wrote her number down on a ripped bank envelope and headed into the store. She approached the counter with a Red Bull, Beanie Baby, and an applesauce pouch. She panicked when small talk started and had to make eye contact. She checked out and went to the car. Mission, failure. On a tipsy sister night out, Paige’s sister decided enough is enough. They went to 7-Eleven to pay Silas a visit. But of course, he was not working. Second Mission Failure. Paige started planning what to wear every day and Silas would hope to see her face when he walked in. Finally, one Friday Paige decided she was done waiting. She had the sudden urge to act, NOW. I mean, third times a charm, right? Silas walked in and was immediately helped by Paige’s colleague, but expecting him to ask for his nightdrop receipts, Paige grabbed them and a sticky note. She quickly and shakily wrote her name and number, stuck it to the top receipt, took a deep breathe, and turned around. She looked up, said hello and handed Silas the receipts. She turned back around and quickly walked to her computer, COMPLETELY avoiding further eye contact (since her face resembled a lobster and she couldn’t catch her breath.) He left, and she waited. Not to seem too eager, even though he had wanted this so badly to happen, he waited. The longest 20 minutes….that led us here… WE ARE GETTING MARRIED Y’ALL!!! 🥰
