Tell Us How You Met The Big Guy…
Disclaimer: This is perhaps the laziest post of all time. This story was told at our wedding reception by the gal who takes credit for us being together.
This is in her words…thanks Deanna!
It all began in the summer of 2001. BG had just left after a night of partying with J to go back home to pack to move to (Big City) for studies at the University there when Nicole arrived at our house to scrapbook for the afternoon. I came up from the basement and commented on how BG had made the bed so nicely even after all that drinking! Nicole commented on how she needed to meet a guy like that! I showed Nicole a photo of BH and she commented on how cute he was. I told her that he was moving to (Big City), so she was shit out of luck!
After Nicole left that day, I sneakily phoned BG and told him about a friend who thought he was cute. He was pleased, but since he was moving away, everyone forgot about it for more than a year. The following summer, we received a call from BG saying that he would be moving to (small city in which we live) to complete his final 3 years of university. J and I planned an end of summer barbecue and invited each of them without telling the other. When Nicole arrived and introduced herself to BG, he replied with “Oh, so you’re Nicole…I’ve heard all about you…” (What he had heard had something to do with wax and sparkles…but Nicole didn’t know that I had shared that information!)
As the night went on, BG and Nicole really hit it off. Later on at the bar, they even danced their very first dance to the Bloodhound Gang (”You and me, baby, ain’t nothing but mammals…”). I thought for sure that once Nicole saw BG dance, it was all over, but either Nicole didn’t notice or didn’t care because they are still dancing today! We continue to take all of the credit.
Any guesses on the wax and sparkles story?
