I guess I broke the rules by finding him in a bar but I choose to believe we are the exception to this rule. Luckily I had an intoxicated sister and a helpful brother-in-law with me because I was the sober driver that night. When I say sober I mean sober – I was drinking coffee…in a bar. I saw him walk in with friends and he immediately stood out. I was entertaining myself most of the night people watching but something made me follow him around the bar with my eyes while we were sitting at a table in the corner. After a few distractions I lost track of him only to discover he was sitting with a large group of people at the table next to us. Fate you ask? I say YES! The group I was with started to dwindle as people left to go home. But something told me I had to give this guy my number or I would look for him every time I came back to this particular area. BUT I was stone.cold.sober. There was no way I had the guts to give him my number when I had never done something like that before…plus he had walked in with some girls. I didn’t want to be the girl that hit on a guy with his girlfriend sitting there. So – my BIL offered to find out if he was single. Needless to say this got him some weird looks and the attention of most of the people at the table. We finally convinced my drunk sister to talk to him for me. After what had to be a funny conversation with my sister, he had my number and a very quick glimpse of my face when we left. I was pretty much convinced I had screwed up and he would never call me. Luckily I was wrong. He called me the following Thursday – out of pure luck one of his other friends had been given a girls phone number and they said…”If you call yours, I’ll call mine” - and we had plans for a group outing the following day. The rest – as they say – is history. We have been together ever since! Now, over two years later we are planning the wedding of our dreams. Well – maybe my dreams. Not sure how much he actually dreams of weddings!
