The Szwedding

I got off of work early and decided to go visit my friend Dana at her bartending job. The bar was pretty busy so I asked Dana if she could let me know when two seats opened up. Turns out she thought Joe was leaving but he came back and sat right next to me. I ordered a green tea shot and Joe said "make that two and put it on my tab." We started talking and realized that we had a lot in common. We have been attached at the hip ever since.

We took a trip to go visit Joe's mom in South Carolina. Joe had shipped the ring to her house and had plans to take me to the beach during the sunrise. Unfortunately, I tested positive for Covid the first day we got there and Joe got it two days later. The romantic beach proposal never happened but he proposed late one night in his Mom's living room. Despite the change of plans, it was a perfect proposal.
