during the summer of 1983, my mom and dad met on a beach. it was june or july, i cant really remember. my mom from delaware and my father from pennsylvanian. my dad went with his buddies to just hang at the beach for the weekend. it was a 3 hour (i think) drive from his city. my mother did the same thing, she went down to the beach for the weekend to hang and relax. the beach was in Ocean City, Maryland. anyways... my dad's friend said that he should meet this awesome girl (my mom). so they were introduced to each other that night at a bar on the ocean front. they walked along the beach and just liked each others company. before my dad headed back home, he gave his number to her. he tells me that thats the best way to do it, this way the ball is in her court. i guess he is smart with this thing seeing how i am here and alive today.
well she called him and he would travel 3 hours and spend almost every weekend in delaware with my mom. my mother would also travel every now and then to see him at his home.
so only a short 6 weeks after they met, my dad proposed to my mom. they got married on April 7, 1984. i asked my dad why he proposed in such little time. he told me that he just knew she was the one and that he didnt want to wait anylonger. he thought it would have been stupid to let her go.
i guess my point is that movies can happen in real life. you just have to watch for them. my mom and dad's story is proof right there!
i hope i follow in my parent's foot steps.
here's a pic of my mom and dad :)
