We're Getting Married

Most people don't know how we met so here it goes. When Lance first saw me, he knew "I WAS THE ONE" but was playing hard to get for years, (that's my side of the story, lol). On a serious note, Lance & I met at Bally's a.k.a. 24 Hours Fitness 12 years ago. For the first 2 years, I didn't like Lance however as the years advanced so did our friendship. As time progressed, our feelings for one another also began progressing but due to bad timing (in our minds) we were always single at different times. God apparently had other planes and with HIS intervention we finally got together. During our togetherness, HE provided us with our beautiful daughter Layla and now we are embarking on our new journey to become ONE.

Labor Day weekend is usually our time where we make plans but this year, Lance wanted to do something different. He had me dress up nicely and told me he wanted to have a date with me. We went to a romantic restaurant overviewing the New York City skyline with amazing food, drinks and staff. I went to use the restroom and when I came out, he was holding a blindfold. He blindfolded me and guided me outside with my favorite song (Pretty Wings by Maxwell) playing in the background. When we reached our destination, he removed the blindfold revealing my family, his family and our closest friends (it was very intimate). When I saw everyone, I began to cry as he told me to hold his hand and walk down the aisle with him. As we got to the end of the aisle, I plunged my face onto his chest to cry and to catch my composure. He began to make a beautiful and heartfelt speech and in true Lance form, he made everyone laugh in the process. He got on one knee (yes Lance, lol) and asked for my hand in marriage. NOW HERE WE ARE! GETTING READY TO WALK DOWN THE AISLE AND SAY "I DO"
