I was walking down the Quarter Mile on RIT's campus when I saw a fraternity fundraising for Make a Wish. I threw a couple bucks in the well while passing and went to continue on with my day. I was stopped and peer pressured to climb “the pole.” While appreciating the view, I happened to look down and saw a dorky guy walk up- let me paint the picture for you: long hair held up by a bandana, sunglasses, and a Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt! I had to tell him I appreciated the look, so I screamed down “hey, I like your shirt.” And it all started then :)
Feeling the post holiday slug, we wanted to get out and go for our usual “home for the holidays” beach walk at Paradise Point, Long Island. We walked down the beach, looking for beach glass when Charlie stopped to snap a photo. Next thing I know- he was down on one knee, video rolling on his camera, propped up on a rock. I cried like a baby!
