Our Love Story

We Met.

November 10, 2022

Chris and I met on a dating app on or around November 10, 2022 — Zoosk.com.Β  We spent HOURS😊chatting/texting at first on the Zoosk website….and then on my work phone(never can be too cautiousπŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ)…..and finally on my personal phone😬😁πŸ₯°.Β 

It wasn’t long before chatting turned into full on marathon phone sessions like it was 1984!!☎️

We Fell In Love.

November 24, 2022

A few weeks later, on November 24, 2022 –Thanksgiving DayπŸ¦ƒπŸ — we met in person for the first time for breakfast at the Cracker Barrel in Rocky Mount.Β  That first date began with a breakfast πŸ₯žπŸ³, lasted over three hours and we left there AFTER noon.Β  Before heading our separate ways, we had our very FIRST kiss🫦πŸ”₯πŸ˜………a portent of what has become an inordinately ravenous fascination with EVERYTHING ChrisπŸ₯°πŸ˜.

Chris says he knew at Cracker Barrel that he was in loveπŸ₯°πŸ₯°……and I think I knew about 10 minutes later😊.Β  Thankfully, what was planted that day has continued to grow and flourish ever since.Β Β 

He Proposed!

February 26, 2023

Chris has a VERY hard time keeping quiet long enough to surprise me in anything🀐🀫.Β  And he had soooo many questions about wedding ring preferences that I was HIGHLY suspicious that a proposal was in the works for ME😁😁!Β  He kept leaking clues so I knew he had been lookingπŸ™‚….and later that he had purchased a ringπŸ˜ƒ….and EVEN witnessed the phone call from the jeweler notifying him that the ring was READYπŸ˜πŸ’Ž.Β  So…….when he made plans for a special “romantic” dinner in Raleigh……I spent the week practicing, “YES!”, or “Yes.”Β  or “There’s nothing I’d love MORE(sniffle, sniffle).”Β  Β And also, poses that would make that ring SPARKLE for ALL to seeπŸ’!Β Β 

We went on that romantic dinner and I waited🫀 and waited😐 and WAITEDπŸ˜©πŸ˜•…finally going to sleep that night thinking I MUST be crazy to have built this all up in my headπŸ€”.Β  But, alas, the next morning….he knelt by the bed and professed his love for me, desire to partner with me, and asked me for my hand in marriageπŸ’–πŸ˜.Β  And….the rest is wondrously unfolding right now!
