Before I became a future bride I had to start at the bottom sort of speak. In the beginning was my childhood friend and I on a normal Saturday night. I went along with Ryan to hang out with some of her fellow Marine buddies at a NYC shot bar called Barcelona. Little did I know that night would be the beginning of history in the making. Expecting nothing more but than a night of a few drinks and a few more laughs, in he walked. Instantly noticing he was one of the cuter guys there that night, without thought I perked up the boobs and put my game face on. Before I could make a move Ryan instantly shot me down telling me she had already been with him. Being that I'm not the type of girl to pick up my friends leftovers, I gave up any hope of "us". With no love lose we continued the night and had a blast!!!!
Weeks had passed and Ryan was bugging me about this guy who wanted to talk to me so badly. ( Oh yeah, I never introduced this guy, His name is Andre) Remembering what she had told me I had no interest in him. So without my consent Ryan gave him my number ( because that's what good friends do ) Hours of conversation led to a first date. I know your expecting a happily ever after at this point but that's not the case. After the first date I knew that he wasn't my type. I tried my best to avoid him but against my better judgement I decided to be his friend since he was new to NY. Eight months of friendship, which was probably the best months EVER, lead to LOVE! Then the news hit us. He was being deployed to Iraq for a year!! YOU HAVE TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME! was my initial reaction. The question that held in the balance was should I cherish the time we spent together and call it quits? or should I stick it out like he stuck it out for me? What would you have done? Well I obviously decided to stick it out and wait for him. After a year of prayers and web cams he returned home to me safe and sound, which brings us to the present. Andre popped the question on May 5th ! Now begins my journey to wedding bliss <3
