How we meet

2015

Freddie and I meet in 2015. His cousin Gabe introduced us. Freddie and I were both in relationships at the time so there was no interest for either of us. So we will speed up to 2017 where it all began. Freddie and some coworkers came into Native for a drink one night after they got back from a fire. It happened to be a slow night due to country thunder happening. When they came in we made small talk until I asked them why aren't you guys at country thunder they all laughed at me. Freddie looked at me and said let me guess you like country , drink bud light, and are from a small town upstate. I looked at him and laughed and said I like country music , my favorite beer is Dogfish Head 90 min, and I'm from New York. He was blown away, his friends just laughed and said she shut you up. From that day we had a conncection which started with IPA's. Every time after that when he came into Native we would talk beer and it just grow into him buying me a drink one day after shift. Our relationship grow from there into where we are now getting married.

Our Proposal

October 16, 2019

Freddie and I went to Italy for his 40th birthday. We started off in Rome and continued to Cinque Terra which was on my bucket list so I was over joyed to finally be able to go there with him. Freddie didn't care where went we he was just happy to be exploding Italy with me. So I rented a real italian place with a balcony over looking the riviera coastline. We went to a nice dinner than walked back to our room. When we go back to the room Freddie opened a bottle wine and we sat outside listening to the ocean waves and just talking. I told him I can't wait to come back here in 20 years and he told me to look up at this huge clock up in the mountains and that's when he got down on one knee and said will you marry me... I just cried and couldn't even say yes until he said is that a yes. I said ABSOLUTELY!!!
