OUR STORY ♥
FH is my younger cousin's best friend, so we have known of each other for years.. but we never really talked or anything because I was older and just saw him as one of my little cousin's annoying friends. Fast forward a few years to early 2007. I was just getting out of a 5 year relationship, and he was coming around more often and I had started seeing him in a different light. We started talking and flirting more in person, and really on myspace where we would talk for hours. One night I was hanging out with him and my cousin at my grandparent's house.. my cousin left to get food, and that's when we had our first kiss. It was the most memorable first kiss ever, and I knew right away he was something special. He told me later he felt the same way. Anyway, after that we decided to have our first real date.. and we "officially" started dating about three weeks later. It actually caused a big stir in my family.. since I was just getting out of an intense relationship and he was younger and had been coming around the family for years.. it was major drama for the first few months! The more we were together, the more everything just fell into place.. and we both just happened to fall head over heels in love with each other. It definitely was unexpected for both of us. I definitely didn't think the first guy I dated after being in a relationship for so long would be "THE ONE".. but it was, and I wouldn't change a thing.
In mid 2008 we started talking about getting married. Nothing set in stone or anything, we just both knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. As it got closer to Christmas we talked about more concrete plans and decided we wanted to get married in 2009, so I knew a proposal was coming pretty soon.. especially when he wanted to look at rings with me to see what I liked!! On Christmas Eve I was so excited because I felt like that would be the day. We spent the whole day together and I kept waiting and waiting.. and I kept seeing perfect opportunities for a proposal, but nothing. Well, the last place we had to visit that day was my grandparent's house.. yes, the one where we had our first kiss! When we got there we greeted all the family and everything, then he said he needed to see if he had left his pool stick in the basement (they have a huge finished basement with a pool table) and he wanted me to go with him. I found it odd because he hadn't mentioned missing the pool stick before, but I was like "okay, whatever". So, we walked downstairs and I was headed into the other room where I assumed the alleged pool stick would be and he said "wait".. I turned around and he was down on one knee in the EXACT spot of our first kiss. He asked me to marry him.. and I just kept saying "really? really?". It was so sweet and amazing, and I obviously said YES! It was so much fun to go back upstairs (after lots of kissing and hugging) and tell all my family our great news. It was just a wonderful night!
