Of Paramount Importance

Jason & Jamie

Jamie:
I would always tell parents: I will never get married. I will  never find someone. But I did! What Jason and I have is true love. It is not settling and not for convenience. I’ve been in those relationships, where it’s “Oh, we get along… so maybe it will work…”  What we have is really special. Jason has brought me so much happiness. It has changed our lives. I am so grateful to The Right One. A lot of good has already come from this relationship.

Jason was my third referral and I was his third. I received the letter first and I called first. After we talked, he said he was happy his letter was on the way. We talked on Tuesday and then we talked throughout the week about every night. We talked until we had made plans for Good Friday.

We debated,  should we or shouldn’t we email pictures? You are supposed to wait! Well, he sent me these horrible pictures!I was thinking, o no! I wasn’t very interested at all. But I said to myself, keep an open mind, give it a shot, get to know the person. Meanwhile, he loved my pictures and was intimidated by them. He was thinking, “She is too good for me.”

He came to my house with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. He was a lot cuter in person than the picture!
He drove me around to a couple of different restaurants and had a hard time as it was Good Friday. We settled on the Paramount, an upscale restaurant. By Monday, we had both emailed The Right One to put us on hold.

(Jason:  It was such a good conversation, we spent together eight or nine hours. We went to church together. I knew she was planning on it and I wasn’t as it was so far into the day. But I went just to stay with her a little bit longer. Now I have joined her church. It’s Lutheran, but I am not doing it just to please her.)

I am pretty religious. We are both originally Catholic. Now we are both members of the church I was attending.

I knew right away that Jason was the one. How did I know ? Jason has the most beautiful, kind-hearted soul. His spirit and his aura are something you don’t find very often. He is unbelievably caring and he puts others ahead of himself. I have been treated very well and very badly in the past. But I have never been treated like Jason treats me.  He is everything I was looking for and more.

And romantic. For the proposal, he recreated our first date. He brought me the same bouquet of flowers. We went back to the Paramount. We sat at the same table. He ordered champagne. And he got on one knee and proposed in front of the whole restaurant!

That was two months after we started dating. We have been inseparable.  I moved in probably shortly after we got engaged and we have been extremely happy ever since.

(Jason: I have never been in a relationship before where we were best friends. We have a great time together.)

We adore each other. It is a beautiful great relationship.  I am 110 percent pleased with The Right One.
I didn’t expect it to happen so fast though! I am so grateful. I am very, very happy I met my best friend.

All of the people I met at The Right One were quality people. They were there for the right reason and were kind-hearted. Hard-working people. The people I met on the Internet seemed to be out just to get as many girls as they could without having relationships.  As a female, I appreciated the national background check and the security of it.

Of all of the people I have dated, Jason is the best. He called my Dad and asked permission before he proposed. He is the first boyfriend my Dad ever approved. And his approval is important to me. It’s a big deal. He says it is because of how well we get along. I am 25 and Jason is 31, neither of us has ever been married and the fact that our families get along so well means a lot to us.

We have so much in common. We went camping in the cold and even had a blast. We had Archie, a basset beagle mix with us. Let’s just say, Archie is a snuggler. He is part of my family, with Jason.

We are getting married next year, September 9. I have my dress and everything.  We are going to have our reception at the Paramount! Won’t that be cute?
