It’s a funny story on how we met actually. We were both invited fo a Taco singles event. We had never met before this event. I had been single for awhile and decided to venture out and meet new people so I joined the local singles groups. I saw Tommy, rugged needed some work but I thought he was cute. He then proceeded to talk and I told my friend, oh never mind, he’s gay. Little did I know that day that I would find my lobster. We hung out and became really great friends. I was not ready for a relationship, so I did everything I could to try and push him away. I’m so glad he didn’t let me. When I first saw Maria I thought damn, shes hot, but her resting bitch face game is strong! We talked a little bit after the meet up and she started inviting me to events. We developed a great friendship. Until one day the door started to open to it being more than just friends. I knew she wasnt ready for a relationship so I was patient with her, but also nudging her to see what was right in front of her. After lots of patients and persaverience she realized I was her person. One day we took seperate pictures on a bench at lackamas lake and posted them seperatly. That bench has been a special place for me since that day. That’s the day I started to realize she was my person! So when the time came I told her we were going to recreate that picture. Instead I gave her a hug standing behind her then I got down on one knee and when she turned around I asked her to marry me. As she turned around she got this shocked look on her face and she mouthed what the fuck are you doing!!! But after the shock wore off she said yes of course yes!
