Our Story
The Bride
A beautiful woman born and raised in the beautiful state of New Hampshire. I am the youngest of four children. I am not your typcial female in the sense, that I have no problems being one of the guys. This is one of the many qualities my fiance loves about me. I am a lover of all sports (what man wouldn't love that), mainly Volleyball my passion. I get to pass this love on as a Coach at the school that shared it with me. I have been known to be the life of a party, when i do attend them. I love to laugh, and crack jokes, and spend time with family and friends. I can't wait to say "I Do", so that my fiance and can begin our wonderful life together.
The Groom
A man born and raised in Northern Virginia. The youngest out of five children and quite frankly the most handsome of all the boys, although they will beg to differ. Before, I met my fiance, I never thought that I would leave the VA, but she came and turned my world upside down. So after 24 years, of living in one place, I stepped out of my comfort zone and relocated to central NH to be with my babygurl. I am a clown. I love to crack jokes and make people laugh. There is never a dull moment with me. I am the type of person to just bust out and start singing and dancing in an aisle at a store. Why you may ask, I say why not. I like to make people smile. If I can make just one person smile, then that day was a good day. In my spare time when I am not working, I love to spend time with my fiance. Like her, I can't wait for the day to say "I Do" and begin a new chapter in our lives, not as boyfriend and girlfriend, but as husband and wife.
P.S...She is under the impression that I am going to cry when I see her coming down the aisle. I knew I shouldn't have shown her my soft side so early on in the relationship.....hahahaha. Truth be told, I know I probably will. Its not everyday that you get to see the person God intended for you walking down the aisle to walk beside you in llfe. Its a beautiful thing, so coming from this man, I know a tear or two will fall. Just have to make sure to have some visine handy. Don't want red eyes for the pictures after.....hahaha
God Bless.....
How we met
I guess we find it rather amusing how we met while others might think its a little crazy. I was online posting something on craigslist.com under the personal section and within 20 minutes of my post Dale sent me an email. He had put all of his contact information in the email, (screen name for IM, phone number, email address) and he told me all about himself and that he was sick of all the games people play. That if I was serious and wanted to get to know him better to email him back or call him. Now usually in the past when I would meet people online I was very hesitant and waited at least 3 months to call them on the phone; its usually emails back and forth and even then I get nervous to call. This time I didnt hestitate at all. I called him immediately. We talked on the phone for HOURS, and then met that evening at a restaurant down the road from my house. I can honestly say it was love at first site/hug for both of us! Our lives haven't been the same since we met!
