We're Getting Married!

It was just another Freaky Friday at Nuevolution Dance studio where I was taking dancing lessons. After salsa class, the studio opens up to non students at no charge. On this night, Diane decided to walk in. The moment she came in I told my WingWoman that the new girl that walked in was just my type. She said “ Go get it Paulie”. I watched all the guys fail as they tried to make their moves. I liked to be different, this was no exception. I learned to be the guy that doesn’t give attention when everyone else does to generate interest and mystery. Diane came up to me and asked me to dance. Low and behold, my strategy worked! I went the humble route on this dance and opened by saying I was very rusty and was going to keep the dance moves very basic. I wanted to talk to this girl to see what she was about. After our dance, I invited Diane to the monthly Block Party and she was very reluctant to show any interest but all the signs were there (especially playing with the hair). After learning she used to be very chunky I knew the way to her heart was food. I invited her out to dinner at Brio then the block party and the rest is history!

On January 8, 2016, I decided to check out my old salsa studio for the night. Once I entered, I noticed this handsome man who I thought was an instructor. I excitedly asked him to dance with me that instant! All of a sudden, he told me that he was "rusty"... Little did I know he was NOT an instructor! So being the kind person that I am, I simply endured the next 3 minutes. Following the dance, I told him thank you and proceeded to walk away. Paul kept on pursuing me even though I'd already decided that I didn't want anything to do with him, but by the end of the night I just knew that there was something special about him especially when he invited me to my favorite restaurant.

Diane booked a trip to Atlanta, Georgia to run a 10K race with her brother. After their run, her brother told her that they had tickets for a VIP tour at the Georgia Aquarium. She was so excited, but wondered why he told her to dress fancy. At the end of the tour, the tour-guide took them to The Ocean Voyager, home to four whale sharks, four manta rays, and thousands of other fascinating fish. A table setup with all kinds of seashells was on display. She was told to open up the shells, and found one which read, "Will you Marry Me?" Diane was so confused because Paul wasn't on this trip with her. She then asked her brother what's going on which led her to check her surroundings and there Paul was, waiting behind her to pop the question. Clearly, she said YES!
