Mary and I met on November 30th, 2018, at a bar/lounge in Brooklyn. This one night I didn’t feel like going out. Our mutual friend, Trev kept calling me insisting that I come out and hang for a bit – he wasn’t taking “no” for an answer. I finally gave in and about an hour later, unbeknownst to me, my future wife walked in. When she walked in, I said to myself - I want her. Mary must have been feeling the same vibe because after Trev introduced us, she came over and sat right next to me. I can’t lie, I was nervous like Sean don’t mess this up. We talked for about 10 minutes then she gave me a smirk and walked away. I was like DAMN IT I blew it lol, but then she came back. This time I said let me show her how this young Jamaican get down and prove to her I’m different. That night we vibe, we laughed, we discussed life in general and by the end of the night, we exchanged numbers. Two months into dating we were already discussing life goals and if we were to get married - weddings songs. A few years later, here we are planning our wedding. We have changed, challenged, and learned so much from one another. She has made me into a better man. For us, it has always been the little things such as our date nights, our competitive little challenges, heavy debate sessions, or just lazy nights at home. There are 8 billion people in this world, 49.6% are females, and I wouldn’t change the future Mrs. Coates for anyone. I promise to love her until my last breath. I love the “how we met” story babe but I will wait until our reception to tell my candid version. You don’t marry the person you can live with – you marry the person you cannot live without. Yours Truly The Coates
