David & I were introduced by a mutual friend through facebook. I was 31 when we met, so I had honestly given up on men. They always say, you meet someone when you are not looking or when you least expect it!! Once I saw David, I literally about fell out of my chair! His smile swept me off of my feet. For me in that very moment it was love at first sight. I messaged him, praying I would get a response. I showed a co-worker his FB profile picture the next day. I told her “I am gonna marry that man one day.” I had a message from him when I got home that night! Once we had messaged each other a few times, we connected on the phone. We talked for 3 hours! The conversation was so easy. Our first date we met at Buffalo Wild Wings. Once he got out of the car, I was instanly smitten! He was so much taller than I had thought & even more handsome! David told me later on into our relationship when he first saw me he thought “wow she is a lot shorter than I thought!” He also told me he was reluctant in messaging me back bc he thought I had a child & he was not wanting to date someone with children. In my initial message, I had wrote I had a 4 year old son that was my pride & joy. I proceeded to tell him I had a boxer named Nixon! Glad I clarified or we may not be here today! Our first date went great! He was a gentelman & so nice! He invited me over & we were up until 4 am talking! The sad part was he had to leave for Hawaii early that am, so our time was cut short. He ended up going out of town for the next week! I missed him so much & I knew I could not see this guy out of my life. He was something so special. I guess he thought the same of me too. I even received a postcard all the way from Hawaii! I still have it on my fridge to this day. It has been quite the journey to get to this very special day. God helped us both grow so much in the past 9 years, but we made it here!! FINALLY! We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone on our special day!!!!! Love you all!!
