In May of 2018, James came down to Florida to visit his brother Dom. My friend Alex was dating Dom at the time and invited me over for a hangout. I knew Dom's brother was supposed to be in town but didn't think twice about it. I walked through the garage at 10 pm in my sweatshirt and leggings, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on. I locked eyes with James and it's as if time slowed down for a moment. I introduced myself and headed inside to meet Alex. "Why didn't you tell me he was this cute ?! I look a mess!" well I went about my business. I soon found out that James had eyes for me as well. He asked me on a date, I agreed, even though he had to leave the next day. He took me to the Cheesecake Factory, the date went so well that I didn't want it to end. I recommended we go walk around a lake, might as well since we have so many of them, off we went to Cranes Roost Park. James left the next day, I called him on his way, knowing he had a 12 hour drive, alone. He says that made him so happy. We continued talking, making it official in July. Three years later, James recreated our first date and proposed to me at Cranes Roost Park. I was so surprised, and of course said yes! Forever and Always!
