My bestman and I, not wanting to stay home and watch movies on New Years Eve, decided we would go out and have a good time.

Luckily I only knew of one place we could go, Chef's on Deck. That evening the most beautiful woman approached me and we ended up exchanging numbers later.

For our first date we went to the botanical gardens, a place I knew like the back of my hand, but this time I did not walk around for hours admiring plants but spent the afternoon at the waterfall learning to know her. It seemed to good to be true, she was drop dead gorgeous and had a lovely personality.

After 3 months I asked her out. I mean if you know, you know. We spent the next 4 years mostly spending time together during weekends and holidays. During this time I truly got to know her. She brought the best out of me.

We finally moved in together and got 2 four legged kids. It was time for our next step.

7 years later and no doubt in my mind, I will be waiting down the aisle for my best friend to start the rest of our journey together.
