Chris and I first saw each other back in like 2003 at Taco Bell in Anderson, SC (even though I’m from GA, we used to go to Anderson on the weekends because there’s nothing to do in my hometown).
Anyway, I didn’t technically meet him until a few years later- 2007, I think. My best friend, sister and I met him and his friends at a club in Anderson, but we didn’t really talk because I had ‘on-again, off-again’ boyfriend. Long story short, my best friend and his best friend ended up dating, and because of that, we started hanging out more.
Obviously, things didn’t work out between my then-boyfriend and me (side note: Chris told me to try and work things out with the ex). Anyhoo, Chris and I became official on 1.18.08.
How we got engaged
Chris had to work on Valentine’s Day, so we planned to go out to eat when he got off (at 8 PM). I’d been having a headache all day, so I wasn’t in the best mood. He had given me a huge teddy bear that morning, and he told me that was only part of my gift.
Fast forward to the restaurant. He started talking about he didn’t have my other gift because he had planned to take me to the bookstore to pick out some books. Then, he changed it up and said he wanted to get me a necklace with an inscription, but they were sold out. I admit, I was disappointed because I was expecting another gift. And I was cranky because I had a massive headache.
So, we head back to my house, and we’re watching Family Guy in my room. He gave me a card, the he started facing the wall, which I thought was weird, but I thought he was texting or something. Then he kept saying, “kiss me.” But the huge bear he gave me was between us, so I had to move to get him. So, the third or fourth time he said it, he had the ring box open, and he asked me to be his wife…
The date is: August 27, 2011…and that's it : )
