The beginning
Comedic Providence
I love our story. And I love and laugh about how God put us together.
Picture it. It’s 2006 and the prom is coming up. Sam and I are dating other people. After school one day, my senior boyfriend had his friend break up with me two weeks before prom (ouch!). What am I to do? I have the dress, I’m excited to go to my first prom but I can’t go by myself since I am a sophomore. I have to have an upper-classman escort to get in…
Think Mallori, think. There has to be a way to still get in.
At some point between then and prom, I overhear Sam talking in Ms. Adam’s art class how his girlfriend broke up with him. Keep in mind, Sam is a junior, an upper-classman. Can’t you just see the light bulb pop over my head? We had several mutual friends, he was really funny and did I mention, CUTE? He’s my ticket to prom! (Sorry for using you babe, LOL!)
So we go to prom as the odd couple. The kids that got dumped and lumped together. (He tells me years later that he fell in love with me the second he saw me in my dress.) Sigh.
The evening consisted of getting all fancy, dinner on the porch of a mansion overlooking Bogue sound, a stretch Hummer for a ride and dancing the night away. We had a great time and went from acquaintances to friends.
This isn’t the best picture, but it’s the only other one I have of the night. My disposable camera got lost on the dance floor. Sam is on the very left and I’m next to him in the blue dress–clearly not expecting anyone to take my picture, LOL.
More to Come…
College, marriage, law school, jobs and our first son Luke.
That was 2006. It is now the very month of our first “date” fourteen years later. Obviously a lot happens in that span of time and I will update the “About Us” page as time allows. Thanks for reading and getting to know a little about us!
