Our Love Story
How we met:
Todd and I met for the first time at a wedding we were both in. His best friend was marrying my best friend. He was dating someone at the time, so the only thought I had was that he was the best looking out of all the groomsmen. The next October, I was at my best friend's house, when she mentioned that Todd had broken up with his girlfriend, so I mentioned that I thought he was cute and that she and her husband should set us up when he was ready to start dating again. Her husband mentioned to Todd what I had said about him (embarrassing me greatly!), but we started emailing and hanging out when we could (we were living 4 hours away at the time). We weren't officially together until June 27 - I had asked him the last time I had saw him what was up with us. He said that he liked me and I liked him, but because of the distance he wasn't sure if he wanted to be 'together' officially. I was disappointed, but understood what he was saying. A few days later, I got an email, with him saying he changed his mind, and he wanted me to officially be my boyfriend.
Our engagement story:
It was my birthday, and I was rather upset because my friends had all backed out of the plans we had made. Todd had been planning on proposing, just not on this day. But since I was upset, he decided on the spur of the moment to propose. We were standing in our apartment, and he took my hands, and said that he had a question for me. I couldn't say anything, but just nodded. Then he said 'Marry Me?' I'm not sure what I said, beyond yes. I was in a state of shock! It was the most wonderful birthday present I've ever gotten.
