We’re getting married!

After a long day working in the city I contemplated going to Megans christmas party but my mom convinced me that I can sleep tomorrow and go see Megan. So that’s what I did, drive out to Riverhead to hang out with Megan and a bunch of people I’ve never met. Me being me I showed up with my Grey Goose santa flask (big hit by the way) and me and Megan played some beer pong. While playing I heard this distinct deep voice that I knew I had heard before (not sure why when the only person I knew was Megan). I turned around to see a man with a buzzcut and a grinch shirt on grabbing some beer from a keg. We locked eyes and we both knew that we somehow knew each other. The night continued and we still could not figure out how we knew each other until internships were somehow mentioned and we realized we did the same internship years prior (small world huh). Kenny and Owen proceed to ask me if Kenny should venmo request his ex for fantasy football money as Meg and I laughed about how desperate he would have to be for money to do that. Shortly after I left the party and got into my mom’s car immediately thinking about this man with the deep voice and telling my mom all about him. The next day I checked for him on Instagram (as every gen z does) and found he had already requested me (ooo i think he likes me). I reached out to him about some chick-fil-a coupons and he planned our first date. He came to the door, opened the car door for me and we went for lunch and bowling. Little did Kenny know he would be hanging out with me until 2am that first date as we played video games, did my calc homework, met my family and even my friends at Dave and Busters. Somehow I got lucky enough to find someone who can deal with my always going energy. And now the rest is history!!

While at work, I got a text to go to a Christmas party that night. It was the day before Christmas Eve and I wasn’t really feeling up to going out. I ended up getting convinced to help finish a keg of Stella. While I was there, I was having fun with my friends when Megan said she had a friend coming over too, so obviously I got excited. Little did I know, my soulmate was going to walking in a couple of minutes later. As soon as Ashley walked in, I knew I knew her from somewhere. She has a face that I knew I wouldn’t forget. I, being the ladies man that I am, was obviously standing in the corner far away from her for the rest of the night talking with Owen on how to go up and talk to her. He ended up dragging me over there to settle a debate we had on if I should request money from my ex for a fantasy football league. I told her the situation and she immediately said that I must be broke to do that. After we laughed and walked away, a couple of minutes later she ended up overhearing us talk about internships. She immediately shot up and said “wait, did you intern at H2M?” And I said “wait a second, that’s where I know you from!” We spoke for the rest of the night. Later, when I was home from polishing off the keg of Stella, I texted Megan saying that I NEEDED to get Ashley’s number. I was trying to come up with slick ways to slide into her DMs, but she did me a favor and ended up texting me first! (Talk about desperate, am I right?) She asked me to go to Chick Fil A since she had some coupons, and of course I said yes. What almost turned into a no-show, turned out to be the greatest day of my life as I met the love of my life and I couldn’t be any happier to have gone to that party.
