The Bride

Chris and I are … wait for it… high school sweethearts. We were friends throughout high school and started dating the end of senior year. I started as a summer fling, but charming Christopher won my heart. He was sweet and sensitive and welcomed me into his life.

I remember one of our first dates, Chris had asked me early in the week if I had plans that weekend. I said no and he said, good lets go on a date. I asked what we would be doing and he said it was a surprise and started dropping hints. Friday afternoon he asked if I owned a bike helmet. I laughed, very excited about the surprise and said yes. He told me he would pick me up at 7 and to bring my bike helmet. He arrived at my parents house at 7, he is very punctual, and I met him at the door with my pink bike helmet. He chuckled, walked me to the car and opened the door to his silver PT Cruiser. He got in the car. I asked where we were going, he handed me a bag of jelly beans and said the movies. He couldn’t wipe the smirk off his face all night.

Chris knows me better than anyone. I am throughly enjoying our engagement and I look forward to our next adventure as husband and wife.
