Yay we’re getting Married! Come celebrate with us.

It all started when both our families moved from Pennsylvania the summer of 96. The Stein family from Pittsburgh and the Parker family from Philadelphia. Even though our families were in different counties, we both eventually ended up living in Florida the same years as well. We lived just 5 hours away from each other. We both then moved back to cali around the same time as well. One day back I. 2015 when I (Meredith) was shopping for groceries at the local grocery store, I saw this good looking guy (Dustin) and thought “man he’s cute I bet he has a gf”. Well it turns out he didn’t. At the time I was on a dating site and he just so happened to be on the same one. One day I received an email from this guy and it was him. It was the guy I saw at the store. We started talking. Realized we lived on the same street less then a mile apart. He picked me up and we went out for sushi. Stayed there until we were only ones left. Continued the evening at the local roller skate rink for adults skate and just so happened we both had friends attending that night as well. It was so much fun, it was like we knew each other for years. It was getting late he took me home. Then with in the next few days he had moved in to my place and our lives together really began. We are like to peas in a pod. He is the calm to my storm. My rock. June of 2022 Dustin gave me commitment ring and said this is his commitment to me. Little did I know he was planning an engagement ring. He kept this a secret for over a year. Threw everyone off. Well played Dustin well played. Then on Christmas Day of 2022 Dustin was like a little kid getting up at the crack of dawn.. “Babe you up, get up let’s open presents!” So I get up and we start. He wanted to keep going but I wanted to take a break and eat and have coffee with a like nap ( was tired from getting up early). We then got back to the last gifts. Dustin was said “ remember when parents saved the best gift for last.. here you go babe”. I open this big box and look inside and it was empty. “ gee thanks babe” but Dustin is walking around the coffee table and then Says “ Will you take my last name be be a Parker?” as he is pulling out a box with a beautiful ring in it. “ YES of course Yes!!”. We then face time all our parents and let them know. Everyone said they never thought this day would come actually come and it did!! And then the rest is history.
