We're getting married!

It's hard to say our exact first meeting because it was well over 10 years ago. I worked at a movie theater and he liked free popcorn. A bunch of people were in the general office and I walked in. He thought my name was Jadina because that was my nickname at the time and I learned he was going to Madison. Throughout the years I would venture to Madison or Whitewater to visit all of our friends and we always just...clicked. It took us 8 years but we finally found each other.

It was a Friday night, after a long day of work. I got stuck in traffic and it took me an extra 20 mins to get home. When I pulled into the garage, I sat and sang the rest of the song on the radio, then I walked to get the mail and checked to see if we had any packages. Little did I know, Patrick had gotten off work early and was already home when I got there. I walked into our kitchen and saw something on the floor and got mad thinking one of the cats knocked something over. As I pushed the door open more, I saw a line of roses and candles on the floor and Patrick down on one knee. He asked, "Will you marry me?" and in totally disbelief on what was happening, I just stood there stunned. I couldn't get the words out and he had to ask again. I finally shouted "YES," and we were engaged. He had video taped the whole thing and cooked us a fancy dinner. We popped some bubbly and celebrated!
