Both natives from Texas, it was our careers that brought us to Chicago. Who knew a night out with friends would bring us a lifetime of happiness. Shortly after becoming your favorite couple, our paths and life goals forced us into a long distance relationship (emphasis on LONG distance). Before finally sharing the same zip code again here in Boston, we dated long distance for 7 years. Yes SEVEN years. About the same time it takes for a good president to complete two terms (we miss you Obama). However, distance could not stand between God’s plan.
Like everything in life, falling has a time and a place. However, I never knew that the wrong time and place had enough power to alter my course in history. Well, it can if it’s the first date with the man of your dreams. And if he happens to not catch you before you fall (which was the case for me), don’t let it ruin the night. At least get a free meal and see how it goes from there!
When two people are meant for each other, no time is too long, no distance is too far, no one can ever tear them apart. When we met we had no idea that distance would play a vital role in our relationship. Though life had different plans for us as individuals, the love we had for each other was able to overcome the distance that came between us. If you're wondering what the secret was that made this work, a good wireless plan (and the option to hit the mute button every now and then) will be your best friend! In the end, you're the best thing I ever waited for.
The best way to pull off a surprise engagement is to allow her to think you're so predictable you could never pull it off. Let her pick a fight and your only job is to keep that fight going (you know for the greater good). When you have all your plans in place, that same wireless plan you used to keep your long-distance relationship strong should be the same plan you use when you ignore her calls and FaceTimes 1hr before the big question. Make her bestie get her to the venue by any means necessary and watch the look on her face when she realizes you’re not as predictable as she thought!
