The Edge. (As told by Christy)

He was a devilishly handsome young man.

Despite the fact cornrows were carefully tucked under his backwards baseball cap, the deep gaze of his blue lagoon eyes coupled with his bewildering boyish smile more than made up for the interesting fashion choice.

My friend ( Carrie Grace ) dated his guy friend and serendipitously we ended up at this place, hanging out with a group of motorcycle friends. Yes, handsome, full of himself, muscle bound motorcycle guy... My interest was piqued, but I was on high alert and reluctant none the less...

Later that night my ex-boyfriend would show up stalking me causing panic and problems, this boy stood up and protected me seeing to it that my ex was escorted out by JPD. Score one for the chivalrous motorcycle guy.

Winding down from the previous embarrassing event, sitting side by side in a booth, I turned my head to thank him and found myself lip locked without warning. Shocked at first, my inital thought was "okay, this is happening".

Suddenly something changed, there was a shift deep within my soul. Everything went black with flashes of light flying by. Like an out of body experience, we were alone in the dark. Everything and everyone around us melted away and disappeared. My soul was a ribbon of light in front of me twisting and snapping like a rubber band being stretched beyond it's limits. I watched as it entwined itself with another, finally restricting back to normal joined together as one. In an instant we were bound by an electric ora which left me breathless.

Our hearts from that moment would never be the same. We pulled back and looked into each other's eyes and without a word, we knew.

On November 25th, 1995 an unlikely meet-cute unfolded in an unlikely place, The Edge Night Club.

Neither of us were looking for a significant other, let alone in a night club but it seemed God had plans for us. His plans have put us together and taken us apart over time. Again 27 years later his timing is perfect.

We will be forever thankful for the night and place we found the one whom our souls love.
