How
We Met... |
We met November ’03
at a local restaurant where Dave worked
at the time. I was out for dinner with a
college friend and a co-worker of Dave’s
where she first introduced us. After work
Dave stayed and had a few drinks with us
and we talked for a little while. We would
see each other whenever I met up with my
friend at the restaurant but we didn’t
exchange numbers or make any other plans
to hang out. After New Years of '04 Dave
finally asked my friend for my number, he
called and we have been together ever since. |

The
Engagement...
Date:
February 2007 |
| It
was our 3rd year anniversary and we had
made plans to meet at Dave’s shore
house to cook dinner and have a quiet romantic
dinner. I was living at school and Dave
was living in Philadelphia at the time for
work so I bought the food and left right
after class to meet him at the house. Dave
called to say that he was leaving work and
would be there as soon as he could. I had
forgotten a few things and had to stop at
the grocery store on my way over. Dave kept
telling me he was stuck in traffic and would
get there as soon as possible. I eventually
got to the shore house and saw Dave’s
car in the driveway. I went to the front
door where my “instructions”
were stuck to the door with a rose. There
were a beautiful bunch of roses and a card
talking about our relationship and our future.
He lead me through the house with clues
to find more clues and further instructions.
I eventually found the final clue that lead
me to a bedroom where Dave was down on one
knee, with the most beautiful ring, and
had spelled out “Will You Marry Me”
in roses on the bed. He then asked me to
marry him and of course I said yes …
after I asked him if he was joking. |
