We had first met at staff development through a coworker. Ross said he had tickets to see Alice Cooper, one of my favorite performers, and asked if I wanted to go with him to the show. I said absolutely! We knew before the end of the show that this was meant to be.
We had purchased tickets to see Alice Cooper (again), this time for our second anniversary. I knew two years ago, at our first Alice Cooper concert that Caitlyn was the woman I would spend my life with. The morning of our second Alice concert, I proposed to Caitlyn in private, with Fitzy as our sole witness (as requested by Caitlyn). Caitlyn had told me that she would cry. She did not disappoint.
The pandemic changed a lot of plans for people in 2020, including our wedding. We pivoted to a small wedding in the garden at Ross's parents' home. Many of our loved ones Zoomed in to the wedding to celebrate from afar. While it wasn't our original plan, it was still an absolutely beautiful day filled with love and happiness.
