How We Met

When the Sun Goes Down

We met on one of those perfect Ohio summer nights... a Kenny Chesney concert at Blossom Music Center. It all started when I called off of work for a girls night out at a country concert. Just as the concert started, my friend spotted some guys she knew, who just happened to be Stoney’s best friends. I immediately told my other friend, “Ew, they're from Doylestown. Keep walking!” But my friend stayed put, and there was no way we were about to just leave her in the crowd. So, we stayed too. Somehow, I ended up dancing with Stoney for the entire concert... under the stars, on the Blossom lawn, lost in the music and each other. We kept the party going afterwards and ended up staying up until the sunrise laughing, talking, and having the best time together. We were instant best friends. It was like I'd known him forever. We just clicked. The next day, he asked my friend for my number, and that was it. We've been inseparable since. That night gave us more than just great memories. It ignited a spark that gave us a beautiful daughter, a home full of love, and now a wedding to look forward to.
