Christian

  So where does one begin with the story of Danielle & Christian... Once upon a time there was a Giant Castle with a Beautiful Princess!!!!... No wait that's a fairy tale...  There honestly isn't a crazy, exciting story to how we got together, but that doesn't matter because we're together and are about to journey through one of the most important parts of our lives.  But surely you all are wondering how this Engagement came to be so here we go... We first met at K-Mart many many moons ago.  We both had our own relationships, our own group of friends and pretty much just kept it to a "Hi" and "Bye" situation.  Now lets fast forward to Summer 2007.  For whatever reason Danielle asked for my phone number, so I gave it to her.  She would randomly send me silly messages about read these and forward these chain text messages or the Ghost of Christmas Past would steal my soul, yadda yadda yadda.  So let's fastforward just a bit more to I believe late August of 2007.  I found out, through a mutual friend, that Danielle went to Farmingdale State College, the College Formally known as SUNY Farmingale (So Liked that better but I've digressed).  I thought it was pretty cool that we went to the same school, so I decided to shoot her a message and ask her how she liked it there, and what her favorite color was and her social security number...  Okay so maybe it wasn't exactly like that but right off the bat we hit it off pretty well.  I was not a very big text messaging fan, infact I kind of hated text messaging.  But boy did she LOVE to message me.  My text messages per month went from like 250 a month to about 1000 a month, and no this isn't one of those exaggerations either!  The worst part was that I had this cheap $10 phone because I didn't feel like buy a decent phone since I kept breaking mine.  That phone lasted a pretty longtime once I think about it.  But with all the messaging that I was doing on the thing it left my fingers with blisters... NO JOKE! So now you've got a little more info on how we started talking... so lets dive in a little deeper to this spectacular tale of love... Our non-stop text messaging had definitely ignited a spark between us.  Even though we weren't talking on the phone, or hanging out in person, we definitely began to have a bit of a connection.  She was getting to know the real me, and I was getting to know the real her.  It was such a great feeling.  We were still working together at this time and we began hanging out after closing shifts. So where did we go? K-Mart parking lot of course!! We would literally just sit in either her car, or mine and just talk.  I remember one night, we were talking from like 10pm until almost 3am!!! It felt like only minutes had passed by yet it was hours!  I can't even begin to describe the feelings that were beginning to brew between us. We continued on like this for quite some time, and then came that fateful day in September...  I asked Danielle if she would go out with me and she said.....Wait for it.....Wait for it.......  She said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....  Needless to say my manhood was put in check that day.  But I had to respect her decision, or brainwash her so she would change her mind, but I chose the first option.  She didn't just say no for no reason, I mean it's not every day a charming young chap like myself gets rejected.  But we had just gotten out of relationships not too long before I had asked so she felt we should wait a little longer.  So i figured it would be a couple weeks, maybe even a couple months. I definitely was not expecting what happend next...
