Tamra and Jeremy first met about four years ago at her sister Danyelle’s house. At the time, they were both in other relationships, so their interactions were always friendly and respectful. They would only see each other occasionally when they happened to stop by Danyelle’s house. One thing Tamra always admired about Jeremy was how respectful he was of boundaries—something she knew not everyone values. The funny part is that the first few times Jeremy saw Tamra, she felt like she was always at her worst. Sometimes her hair was a mess, sometimes she felt like she looked like a total bum, and other times she was out in the backyard playing rough with her kids and covered in mud. Not exactly the glamorous first impression she would have chosen. Over time, they both secretly admit that if they heard the other one might be at Danyelle’s house, they just might “happen” to stop by too. Of course, neither of them would admit it back then. Fast forward a few years. One night Tamra was feeling upset and decided to take her kids over to her sister’s house for a change of scenery. As fate would have it, Jeremy was there too. They hadn’t seen each other in almost a year. Tamra’s brother-in-law had a fire going in the backyard, and the peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to relax and catch up. As they sat by the fire talking about life and asking each other, “How have you been?” it felt easy and natural. Before Jeremy left that night, he asked Tamra for her phone number, and she gave it to him. From there, everything seemed to fall perfectly into place. Just four months later, Jeremy got down on one knee and asked Tamra to marry him—and with a big smile on her face, she said yes
