How We Met

Brides Version
I first had the pleasure of meeting my future husband at a "Wasted Knights" concert! Yes that should have been the first clue as to what I was getting myself into! I met Michael through one of my best friends Nicole. From the first minute I saw him I knew there was something about him. I just had this feeling, mind you I had a boyfriend at the time so I was trying not to feel anything. But... with his beautiful smile and amazing personality I just had to see him again. A group of us went downtown to a bar and I met up with him again, later that night he disappeared as his buddy had been kicked out. I texted him to see where he ended up. He asked me if this was my number and if he could call me sometime. (yes very smooth) and of course I said yes as I was single again! And the last 3 and a half years we have been inseparable. Whether it has been through work or play, it has truly been the most amazing experience I have ever had and I only know it will continue to grow for many years to come.

Grooms Version
It was another one of my regular wasted nights until this angel with long dark hair walked through the gates of heaven. She took my breath away the first time our eyes met. Funny thing we were at this bar to see a band called the wasted nights. So after all my grinding in the corners and hard hustle to win the puck, I mean Melissa, I found out she was in a relationship. Boooo, well its all about patience. A few months later I ran into Nicole and we set up a night out to Devils Martini. "Tell Melissa to come! Does she still have a boyfriend? You think I have a chance? She's so cute!" I told/asked Nicole. She worked some magic cause that night Melissa was there and luckily I brought my dancing shoes to bust a move or we would probably never be together. I tried to say good bye to her that night and I tried to find her but she was gone (I can't believe she left with out saying good-bye). Later that night I got a text message asking if I got home O.K from an unknown number. After finding out it was Melissa I asked if I could call her some time. Well I'm still calling her but now I'm calling her my Fiancé. I love Melissa so much and can't imagine life with out her.
