Our story begins with a game of laser tag! (c'mon, it's fun no matter how old and busy you get. =)) We met through a mutual friend we call Kye. After the game, we all went to play cards. There was instant chemistry between us, and we just clicked.
Over the next few months, we became very good friends. We got to know each other quite a bit and were together all of the time. We began realizing things about each other and we began dating. Our personalities are one in the same, we fit each other. We couldn't be any more different as far as hobbies and and music, but that's what makes us, us! Frankie likes Hip Hop and Ari likes Country and Pop. We have alot of different tastes in things, but we have so much in common too. Too much to fit on Honeymoon Wishes =).
We became serious enough to discuss marriage when thoughts of joining the Army were being considered. We love each other deeply and want to grow old with each other. To us, love isnt about the butterflies and infatuation (although that's great too), but more about finding someone who brings out the best in you. Someone who you love enough to want to spend your life with. We found that in each other.
Okay, so we were officially engaged February 14th, 2011. It was a huge surprise. Frankie planned the whole thing perfectly. He secretly surprised me with a wonderful dinner at Bravo and had all of the people I love most there to witness it. After dinner, the server brought out my favorite dessert (Creme Brulee) and THERE IT WAS!! The little velvet, black box just sitting there on my plate. I'm sure you can figure out the rest =).
So, here we are...registering for gifts to help us out on our special day!
If you are still reading this, and have suffered through reading my HUGE story, I'm truly grateful!
Love always,
Frankie and Ari. <3 |
