My fiance is actually the brother of one of my good friends! We first met at a party she had in high school when her parents were out of town (he was 21 and up from college, he and his friends bought the alcohol hahaha). We had a brief romance then, stayed in touch through here over the years, and then "re-met" when he was in town visiting her one weekend... we've been together ever since (2 years now). My brother is in the navy and the ship was having family join for a 3 day sail (they were on their way home from a 6 month deployment). I met him in St. John's, Nfld (basically the other side of the country from where I was living in Vancouver, BC), along with all the other officers for a night out on the town before sailing the next day. Josh (FI) was flying out the next morning but kept me company while out on the town. He flew home and dumped his g/f. I arrived home and found him on Facebook. He decided to fly out to see me a week later. We spent 2 weekends together and we were smitten! We met in Oct, he flew to Vancouver in November, we bought a condo in Halifax, NS (where he's posted) in January and I moved across the country in March. He proposed on Boxing Day! It's been a whirlwind for sure!
