We're getting married!

We've known each other since eighth grade at Pleasant Valley middle school. We were always friendly to each other, had a lot of the same friends and lived in the same area all through high school but we were SO different from each other. I (Tanya) liked the parties and the loud obnoxious boys. Jason, the quieter, mellow boy, liked hunting and fishing. It's funny because we have a few pictures from high school that we are both in but it had never crossed our minds to "like" each other in that way. The other night at dinner, my mom asked Jason's mom, "has he always been a good boy?" Of course her reply was, "yes he was." I said, "that's why we didn't 'like' each other in that way in high school." Fast forward to our 20 year high school reunion! Jason and I had brief interactions with each other all throughout the night but I was busy running around making sure everything was going okay since I was one of the planners and he was busy catching up with all of our classmates. After the reunion, we had an after party at Poor Reds. When I got there, Jason gestured to the open seat next to him so I happily obliged. Never in a million years would I have guessed that next to him is where I would wind down every day for the rest of my life. The next morning, I told my best friend, Dana, who has known Jason and his family her whole life, that the first person that popped into my head when I woke up, was Jason. She literally shrieked, "Oh my God! It's PERFECT!" I told her to reign it in because my plan was to be single for the rest of time since I was a married woman for almost half of my life. She went ahead and planted the seed with Jason, which thank goodness she did! Jason doesn't make decisions quickly, which is completely opposite of me. He took what felt like FOREVER (it was actually just a week) to ask me out to dinner. The stars aligned and we had our first date on October 12, 2019. After two weeks of dinners, drinks, drives, sunrises and hang outs, I called off the "others." There was nobody else that I wanted to spend my time with. After those two weeks, Jason went on a 10 day hunting trip and couldn't get home fast enough. He got to his parent's and left his dad with an unloaded truck and came straight to me. That was 2 1/2 years ago and we have been inseparable ever since. These last 2 1/2 years have been the absolute BEST start to the rest of our lives together. We decided to move in together in 2020 since we were together every day, anyway. In 45 days, we gutted Jason's bachelor pad and remodeled it into the happiest, most adorable and gorgeous home.....and we still really liked each other after it! We took that as a good sign! Jason went from being a long time bachelor and having lots of peace and quiet to having me and my two older teen boys and all the "joys" they bring. They absolutely love, respect and like hanging out with Jason and he loves them, always has their backs and thinks their shenanigans are entertaining. It has been one of my favorite things in all my life to see the bond that Jason and my sons have with each other. I came into this relationship with A LOT of experience and Jason came in as a fresh, baggage-less, clean slate and maybe that's one of the factors that makes our relationship dang near perfect. Our balance in every aspect is on point, we are each other's favorite person, we like to do the same things, we have the same hopes, dreams and goals and our friends and family blend flawlessly. One of our friends and Jason's groomsman said that Jason and I are a "slip fit." After looking up the definition of that, we couldn't agree more. Some people may say that I rushed in (since I was freshly out of another marriage) but WHEN YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW. And now, when Jason takes too long to make a decision, whether it be big or small, I look at him and say, "Babe, JUST ASK HER OUT!"
