In October 2010 I found my Bride on Match.com. It would then take until Christmas Day to finally hear from her.
In between that time frame I had found an employee at my job who knew her and asked him about her. He actually knew her quite well, in fact, he was like a second dad to her growing up and his daughter and my Bride were best friends. I then went onto Match.com and sent her an email stating our mutual connection and that I wanted to meet.
Christmas Day 2010 came and that night I logged in at the same time Erica responded to my email. She said I was 1 of 9 that she read and felt intrigued to answer me and how did I know Jim. We instantly hit it off and decided we would take our first date on New Years Eve. I planned the whole night out and where we would go. She got off work and as I picked her up my heart sank and I knew at that moment I had to know her more than ever. We went to several places that night in our hometowns. By the end of the night I knew I couldn't let her go into the New Year without a kiss. So that night we kissed at midnight as we welcomed in 2011. Later that year we would marry after Thanksgiving.
We have been together a little over 8 years and I wanted to show her how special that night was and bought her this as a gift for Valentines Day.
