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 HOURSπchatting/texting at first on the Zoosk website….and then on my work phone(never can be too cautiousπ€·πΎββοΈ)…..and finally on my personal phoneπ¬ππ₯°.Β
It wasn’t long before chatting turned into full on marathon phone sessions like it was 1984!!βοΈ
We Fell In Love.
November 24, 2022
A few weeks later, on November 24, 2022 –Thanksgiving Day — 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 π₯π³, lasted over three hours and we left there AFTER noon.Β Before heading our separate ways, we had our very FIRST kissπ«¦π₯π ……a portent of what has become an inordinately ravenous fascination with EVERYTHING Chrisπ₯°π.
Chris says he knew at Cracker Barrel that he was in loveπ₯°π₯°……and I think I knew about 10 minutes laterπ.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 anythingπ€π€«.Β And he had soooo many questions about wedding ring preferences that I was HIGHLY suspicious that a proposal was in the works for MEππ!Β He kept leaking clues so I knew he had been lookingπ….and later that he had purchased a ringπ….and EVEN witnessed the phone call from the jeweler notifying him that the ring was READYππ.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 seeπ!Β Β
We went on that romantic dinner and I waitedπ«€ and waitedπ and WAITEDπ©π…finally going to sleep that night thinking I MUST be crazy to have built this all up in my headπ€.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 marriageππ.Β And….the rest is wondrously unfolding right now!
