The Story of Dean & Emily

Our path's did not cross by accident. To be honest, we had so many connections through different family and friends that we have come to learn about after we started dating. During the summer of 2017, Emily was working night shift at the local hospital. Her life consisted of work, sleep, and repeat at that time. Some of her friends wanted to set her up with someone and she may have discouraged it for a while, but after time went on, she finally accepted. This new guy named Dean came into her life. He took her out on their first date at Chili's and they spent all dinner getting to know each other, as were the next couple of weeks. They soon learned they had family on both sides that have known each other for years and friends as well. Their world became a whole lot smaller. Over the next 2 1/2 years, they came to know more about each other and themselves. On their 3rd vacation together, Dean decided to make it official and propose to Emily with the help of his and her family keeping it a secret. And now the rest is history.
