We met in the most boring fashion possible. At work, wow, what a dream. Aidan was some little baby trans boy that looked like someone wrapped him in a few black trash bags and sent him on his way. Sean was the quiet and reserved type, much like a venus fly trap. Dangerous, too many mouths. A cryptid in the making.
A medical fiasco, ruined plans, and a sense of being fed up with the complexity of domestic partnership, our proposal came in two parts. The first was in our living room, when Sean looked to me amidst dozens of google tabs and paperwork. "We should just get married." "I'd love to marry you." It was simple. It was decided. Afterwards, we both came to the conclusion, that the simple proposal wasn't enough for us. We wanted something with a bit more magic to it, so we planned an impromptu trip to Tacoma. We visited the point defiance zoo, had a quiet day, and enjoyed one of the best dinners we've ever had. We exchanged rings at the dinner table quietly, smiled, and announced.
