#YoungLove22🌻💙

Brandon and I met on a dating app. Plenty of Fish 😁 We were both looking for someone local so our parameters were set for 25 to 50 miles from our locations. Also, our age settings were for people older than us! There was no reason we should have matched. However, that afternoon I popped up in Brandon's possible matches. He says my eyes are the reason he messaged me, but whatever the reason he sent me a message thinking I was within 25 miles of him. When I received the message I initially ignored it. He had a stupid screen name (haha). Later that night he too popped up as a match (I remembered the stupid screen name). So I went to my messages and read his classic "You have beautiful eyes" message. We went back and forth messaging, then eventually exchanged phone numbers. Our first phone call was 8 hours or talking and laughing and goofing off. All day texts and all night calls continued until he convinced me to meet him. We discussed where to meet and decided halfway was a good start. Our 25 miles radius had matched us with someone 81 miles away from door to door. So we chose South of the Border! We drove the 45 minutes each and met under the Big Sombrero! I brought my dog Georgia...ya know just in case haha. I got out my car and saw this super tall guy come walking towards me. We awkwardly talked a few seconds until he said "So you gonna kiss me or just giggle at me all night". He kissed me and I was hooked! My nerves melted and we just laughed and talked all weekend. When he went home we were both sad...I may have cried a little. We spent the next 2 months dealing with things no new couple should have to go through and also traveling alot. He crossed off one of my bucket list items for our first Christmas together. He took me to New York to the New Year's Ball Drop in Times Square. Then 2 months after meeting we decided we didn't wanna be apart and he moved in with me. It's been a crazy train since 🥰🌻💙

October 3...We are riding down the road we had argued and I was quiet and he was brooding. He broke the silence and said "You know even though you drive me crazy I want to marry you" I just sat there staring out the window and didn't say anything. He pulled the ring out and pushed it towards me and said "I got you this because I want to marry you! If you want to marry me wear it, if you don't then I'll put it away til you do!" I looked at the ring and snatched it out his hand, slid it on my finger and said " You know I wanna marry you, you're just so annoying" later that night when our egos had calmed down. We laying in bed and he said "Samantha, will you marry me?" and I said "Yes I will" That was the first "proposal" lol 🌻💙 November 25...We were sitting outside enjoying the fall weather and he was grilling. I was sitting in a chair scrolling through my phone making plans for Thanksgiving the next day. He turned around and said "Babygirl you know I love you?" I said "Yes sir I know, I love you too!" He walked toward me and kneeled on one knee in front of me. I continued to mess with my phone... oblivious to what he was doing to be quiet honest. He said "Put your phone down I got you something." I looked up and sat my phone down and he took my hands and said " I love you, and you deserve to have this done right" He pulled the 2nd ring out his pocket and said "Samantha JoAnne, will you marry me?" I teared up and said "Yes of course!" I wear my 2nd ring as my engagement ring and my first ring on my right hand as my promise ring! I love them both and don't wanna choose between them haha!
