A Love Story ............ February 9, 2021 |
|
I love when a fellow employee offers up a story for our E-Newsletter. Ashley G., Garden Center Cashier, shared a classic love story close to her heart... |
|
When Marcy mentioned, "Does anyone have a romance story to share?" I couldn't help but think of the two people who mean so much to me, my parents.
36 years ago their story started with a connection through computer dating! Although online dating wasn't a thing quite yet, connecting through computer 'flirting' was the way to go!
They met in November of 1984, and "Everything just felt right". After dating for a few months, my dad got permission from my grandpa and surprised my mom with a proposal on February 14, 1985!
My dad stopped over before work and popped the question on the front steps of the house. Followed by roses delivered to her work and they had dinner at Hob Nob, the same place they had their first date.

It's a great story to remember on Valentine's Day as they look back on the years they've been together. Countryside even designed their wedding flowers all those years ago!
Happy Valentine's Day, Mom and Dad!
