|   |  | Greg and I first met when I stopped by his restaurant to drop off a job application. If you let him tell it he’ll say he knew I was trouble from day one. As for me, I knew the moment he asked me to come back for the wine tasting that I’d be in his life in whatever capacity he needed me for as long as he let me. Over the course of a year we grew so close people were wondering if we were related! The connection was just that organic and magnetic. One night after work he asked me to walk with him across the street to get a drink and talk. Little did we know that that night, filled with small talk and pints of ice cold Truckstop Honey, would seal the deal for us. It was kismet! It sounds like a sappy love story but after that evening I knew he was “IT” and that I had never been so sure and so matter of fact about anything. It honestly wasn’t even funny or romantic it just WAS. It’s been almost three years now and the week before Christmas we decided to plan our New Year’s resolutions together. As we sat at the table I pulled out my phone to show him my Pinterest vision board for 2018. He started asking me strange questions about seasons to get married in and what colors I would want etc. Mind you, we had talked about wedding ideas in the past but in my mind the timeline was a bit further out before it was necessary to “get serious”. So while thumbing through my Pinterest board I asked him to come to my side of the dinner table so we could look on my phone together. As he came over he said, “ I seriously need you to know that I want you in my life forever. I don’t want you to second guess that”. Me being clueless I said, “Yeah babe, I know. Here, come look at this”. He came next to me and knelt down. Taking my phone and putting it on the table he said, “No, I’m being serious. I want you to be my wife”. By this time I still didn’t know what was going on. I figured he thought I was getting impatient for him to propose so I looked at him square in the face about to reassure him that I was here to stay but before I could get the words out he said, “I cant wait anymore, I’ve tried... Will you marry me?”... My answer had been yes since our first date. |
