How did we meet?

Good old tinder! Sean saw me on there, when I was visiting my friend down by him. He saw that I am country music fan, that was definitely a green flag for him. He added me on snapchat, I liked his name, so I added him back! The rest is history.

Love at first sight?

Let's just say, as soon as we started talking we were falling fast. On our first date, right away we both knew we found our forever. There was a feeling of familiarity, like we’ve known each other our whole lives, loved each other our whole lives. Everything felt so comfortable. We would have said I love you, right then and there! Love at first sight doesn't only happen in fairy tales.

Well, who said I love you first?

About a week later, we were in the Poconos getting ready for some karaoke, when Sean just couldn't hold it in any longer. Sean said I love you first and I said it right back, then tears and sobbing ensued for about 45 minutes, never actually got to karaoke. Fun fact: Sean had an elaborate plan to play "I'll Have to Say I Love You, In a Song" on his guitar for me, but he forgot the guitar.

So, about the engagement?

Sean and I were looking at rings two months into our relationship. Funny enough, the ring I have now was inspired by one of the ones we picked out together 2 months in. A few months before the engagement, I happen to have been looking over his shoulder while he was on his bank app and saw a huge transaction. He tried to convince me it was my birthday gifts, but I was not so easily convinced. So I had a feeling the question was coming sooner than later. We had talked about getting married within the next few years. He started getting secretive about his phone, and I can read the man pretty well, not the best poker face, I knew a big surprise was coming. The night before, we were back in the Poconos, where we said I love you for the first time. He gets a text from his now groomsman, Philip, saying " how ya feeling man". That was the biggest hint. Men don't ask such vulnerable questions. The whole day leading up to the question felt so magical. We danced to our favorite song, took some pictures, and then the best moment of our life happened!

5 fun facts

1. Sean s**t his pants on his way to see me on our second time seeing each other. Thank god he had extra clothes... and receipts. 2. Sean told me he was a flat earther on our first date, I had no words, I believed him and told myself we'd figure that out later. (don't worry, he knows the earth is round) 3. After our first date, Sean drove into on coming traffic and I drove an hour and a half home without music, in complete silence. Let's just say we were in loveeeee. 4. From day one of talking with each other, Sean called me Beauty. So, eventually I asked him, do you call me Beauty because of Beauty and the Beast, and he said no I just think you're beautiful, but I do love that movie. I said okay, well, I'm calling you Beast now, if your gonna keep calling me Beauty. So if you all are wondering how our obsession came about with Beauty and the Beast, there it is. 5. Sean and I are each others first loves!
