Our Story
May 17, 2024
When We Met
We met each other about 7 years before we started to date. We met at a former mutual friends house for her gender reveal party. After we exchanged phone numbers, we lost contact with each other. Fast forward, Tommy found me through social media and we reconnected. Our first date was at Diamond Jim’s Pool Hall on April 29, 2023 in Nyack, NY. We got engaged on May 12, 2024, which was my 35 birthday in Las Vegas, NV!! We are looking forward to celebrating our life together with those that are close with us!
Poem
The days are cold, the nights are long,
but my love for you stays strong.
I hold you in my heart
and have you on my mind.
I’ll wait for you; however long,
my love for you is blind.
You are my lover and my friend,
you are my everything.
I shall remain here waiting,
even if for eternity.

The Proposal!
On my 35th birthday - May 12, 2024, we traveled to Las Vegas, NV for the week. The evening that we landed, we went to the Bellagio to watch the dancing waters at 5:30pm. After the show was over I turned around after Tommy asked me too. I asked him what was going on and he replied “I think you know,” and got down on one knee. As he did so, I stated that he was BSing me cuz he’d always pretend to propose to me. At that moment of him getting down on one knee he stated “am I,” and pulled the ring out and asked me to be his wife!!!
