Our Wedding

“What did the dog say when it sat on sandpaper?”A horrible pickup line that broke the ice just enough to get the girl of my dreams attention,Yes our love story started with me taking a chance and DM’ing THE Crystal Jewels Winner, it was a stretch but Im so glad I took the chance.&nbsp;I owe a HUGE thank you to Samantha Hackey as it was only through her I found out who Crystal was since they danced together. It wasn't until 2021 that we officially went on our first date and by this time I am in Greensboro NC, playing Division 1 Baseball for UNCG and with little time off THE Crystal Winner got the courage to come visit me. I remember being so excited that she was coming and also a little nervous… how do you make a 4 hour drive worth it??&nbsp;Well my answer was Sushi. Crystal had never had sushi and I loved it myself so it was a Perfect way to make a memory.That is until Baseball ruined my plans and kept me at the field until after the sushi restaurant closed. You can imagine my reaction. she came all this way and I cant even make dinner in time. Forced into being quick on my feet I resorted to a go to restaurant my family would go to every Tuesday, Rudy’s.Rudy’s wasn’t my first choice for a romantic evening but with it being late at night and low on options I knew they had delicious fettuccine Alfredo so it was a safe bet to please.After a great meal and spending the night learning more and more about each other I knew I was in trouble, this woman had me so desperate to see her again that before she could get out of the car I asked her to go to breakfast the following morning!&nbsp;(For those of you who know me, this was an off day, to which we ate bright and early, I don’t wake up till 12pm and this woman had me begging her for breakfast at the crack of dawn lol.)I think breakfast sealed the deal because after that I was head over heels for her and havent looked back since. I soon asked her to be my girlfriend very romantically in a Walmart parking lot ( I have my romantic moments this just happens to not be one of them).&nbsp;Our love grew over the next 3 years, battling through college and then taking on the real world, and through many ups and downs we always did it together. I cant be more thankful that God led such an incredible woman into my life.&nbsp;On October 20th 2024, with the help of our stud of a Dachshund Obi, I got down on one knee and asked Crystal to marry me. I thank you all for joining us on this special occasion and cant wait to celebrate our future with you all.&nbsp;And to my wonderful Fiancé as always,I love you to the moon and back&nbsp; I can only imagine you are still questioning the golden line that secured my wife to be… So what did that dog say when it sat on the sandpaper?? Rough.
