This is how it all began.
Chapter 1: The best day ever
Sean's Point of view:
It was a dark and stormy night. It was actually, it rained quite a bit that
night. It was a Thursday. I was sitting at Buffalo Wild Wings with a friend.
My friend, We'll call him Lee (because that was his name), suggested we all go
to the Dock's alternative night (at a nightclub). I didn't want to go, I'd
been a few times before and as much fun as it was, I just wasn't in the mood
that night. After a bit of coercion from Lee (and a couple other friends), I reluctantly
decided to go.
~Jen: "It doesn't need to be that wordy Sean."
~Sean: "I need to explain what happened in excessive detail, you'll
have your chance after I'm done."
~Jen: "Um, ok, you really don't need that much detail, but continue
if you must."
~Sean: "Thank you Jen; So anyway..."
So there we were driving to the Dock in a car (well, I wasn't driving, my
friend was driving, I was riding in the backseat) and we pulled into a parking
spot (in front of the club).
~Jen: "Sean!"
~Sean: "Oh, Sorry..."
So, I was standing with a beer chatting to a group of people and I saw this
beautiful, sexy woman talking to a different group. I tapped her on the
shoulder and said, "hey, come here". So she did. The end.
~Jen: "Oh...Kay... Is that seriously how you're gonna end it?"
~Sean: "What? I think the rest of the story is kinda obvious, love at
first sight, Sean's freakin' awesome... ya'know."
~Jen: "What have I gotten myself into?"
~Sean: "... a non-refundable deposit on the reception."
~Jen: "You're cute, let me tell my side now... and watch how easy it is."
Jen's Point of view:
Thursday night - October 14th 2011. I got dolled up, put my boots on and went
dancing. Had previously met Sean a couple weeks before at the Dock, but we
didn't speak much as I was busy dancing. Saw Sean again and we hit it off
immediately (despite his lame pick-up skills, AND FORGETTING MY NAME). He
asked me out. Three days later we had our first date. Done.
~Jen: "There, see how easy that was?"
~Sean: "Yea but how did you get to the club?"
~Jen: ".............wow."
Chapter 2: The first date
Sean's P.O.V. (I got tired of typing Point of View.):
I took her to the classiest restaurant in town and then to a beautiful park at
sunset. Balla!
I sang and played the guitar for her. I was a rock-GOD. My awesome vocals
were meshing with my sweet guitar licks and I could see in her eyes that she
was impressed. I'm pretty sure the wind picked up and blew my shirt open and
then flocks of doves flew down to listen to my incredible melodies. Heck, at
the end of it all the doves were crying and a rainbow appeared.
She loved it.
Then, like, I totally, got to kiss her.
~Jen: "Okay, that's not exactly what happened."
~Sean: "...Well, that's how I remember it."
~Jen: "You would."
Jen's Point of view:
So on Sunday we had our first date. He took me to Gold Star Chili (he shelled
out like 20 bucks), then to Spring Grove cemetery (free, btw) around 4 (still
totally sunny out). Afterwards we went back to his place and he played his
acoustic guitar for me and sang some song about zombies being in love.
It was ok.
Okay, it was a good song but there were no doves and rainbows don't appear
at night... in your bedroom. He finally found the nerve to kiss me after missing
almost every one of my cues throughout the day. It was a lovely day.
~Sean: "Mine sounded better."
Chapter 3: Explosions and Ninjas
~Jen: "What?"
~Sean: "I don't know, It sounded dramatic"
Chapter 3: Our new house
Sean's P.O.V.:
After finding a house for rent online we liked, we checked it out and then
rented it.
Jen's Point of view:
Yep.
Chapter 4: The Proposal
Sean's P.O.V.:
I knew I wanted to marry Jen the day I met her. After dating for a while, I
couldn't contain my feelings for her any longer. I knew I had to ask her to
marry me immediately and nothing could stop me. Then I realized I was broke.
A month later I had the money saved for a ring. I went to Kay Jewelers at the
mall (because that's the only jewelry store I knew about) and found the
perfect ring. It was a modest ring, granted, though what it represented was
priceless. I bought it, and prepared for my next step.
A month went by with the ring in my trunk, I was so nervous someone would
steal my car (yeah, my bright neon yellow car).
The day I proposed to my love, I took her to Newport on the levee. I wanted
to propose to her at the Aquarium. "It'll be so romantic!" I told myself. With
all the colors and fish and sea otters? and stuff. I was so nervous. As we
were walking toward the aquarium I said, "Babe, let's go to the aquarium." and
Jen said, "We can't, it's too expensive".
So I bought her a funnel cake instead.
As she was eating the funnel cake, I got down on one knee and pulled out the
ring. She was so surprised, and said (with a face full of funnel cake), "Are
you kidding? ...of course, Bubby!". She let me put the ring on her finger and
then went back to the funnel cake.
She made me so happy.
It was a beautiful moment.
Oh! I also made her a balloon animal (not important, just impressed with
myself).
Jen's Point of view:
I, of course, had no idea he was going to propose. After months of him arguing
the merits of NOT getting married (to throw me off track), I resigned myself
to the thought of us never getting married. I had always envisioned myself a
beautiful bride celebrating with family and friends and a handsome and kind
husband by my side. For weeks leading up to the proposal, Sean would
repeatedly and randomly say, "I've been meaning to ask you....will you be my
girlfriend?"
I would always say yes (I had some suspicion that this was leading to "will you
marry me?", but I wasn't 100% sure).
I thought we were just going on a leisurely trip down to the Levee, and
expected nothing special. Now, as I think back on it, I feel bad I argued that the
aquarium was too expensive. While it would have been a beautiful setting for
a proposal, the wrought-iron bench I sat upon, surrounded by Levee patrons,
was just as beautiful a scene as any.
I knew the minute I met Sean that he was my handsome, kind husband-to-be.
We are a perfect pair and we were meant to be in each other’s lives. I'm so
thankful I found Sean and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
~Sean: "I love you... whatsyourname? um, uh, I know it starts with a 'J'."
~Jen: "I love you too, Sean. Ya Joik."
To be continued.... ;)
