Together Dating - Sherry & David

"The first time we talked on the phone I felt like we had been friends for years but had been apart."

A woman is in a local karaoke bar hoping to find a little happiness. Her marriage is going through a rough patch, and she needs some inspiration. While listening to the local armatures belting out Barry Manilow hits, she sees a happy couple sitting together. They look like they have never been apart a day in their lives. Seeing their contentment with each others company, she can’t stop herself from going over and speaking to them. “I just want you two to know that seeing the two of you together gives me hope for my marriage.” To which Sherry replies “Well, he has not asked me yet!”

When Sherry was preparing for her first The Right One match, she was terribly nervous. It had been more than 17 years since she was in the dating scene. Feeling that she should warn her match of her overwhelming nervousness, she gave David a call. “Are you nervous because I am?” David still reminds Sherry of that call. “The first time we talked on the phone I felt like we had been friends for years but had been apart” said David.

The couple met at a TGI Fridays. Sherry dressed in head to toe pink and looked for a man she never met before. After a search through the restaurant she turned around and there was David with roses and a wooden cross that he had made himself. Sherry turned pinker than her outfit. The couple dined together for two and a half hours. They discovered that they had so much in common that it was entering the realm of being scary.  The date went so well that David immediately asked Sherry out on another date. Of course Sherry said yes but she already had planned for David to come back to her house that evening to play board games. The evening was a great success and did not end until 1am.

When David returned home, Patches (his Chihuahua) was not pleased with him and let him know it in liquid form right on his foot. Thankfully Sherry, who has pets herself, wanted to make peace with Patches. Both David and Patches came over for a spaghetti dinner. Eventually Patches came around and now is more Sherry’s dog than David’s. Patches knew the relationship was meant to be. She’s a smart little dog.

It did not take long for David and Sherry to know they wanted to get married. Over the course of only a few months the couple fell in love and got engaged. A special trip to see Sherry’s mother was planned and together the couple asked for her blessing. Sherry’s mother was very pleased to give it and to her surprise David dropped down on one knee and proposed right there.

The wedding is set for May and the couple is planning for a special wedding in which all their grown children (Sherry has three boys and David has one girl) will play a part. David’s friends would often tease him about pampering Sherry. He feels so strongly about it that he included it in his wedding vows “I promise to protect, defend, and pamper you.”

When David moved his things into Sherry house, it did get a little confusing. The couple is so well matched that even their furniture styles were the same. They could not tell what belonged to whom? Fortunately after Sherry’s kids moved out they had plenty of rooms.

David and Sherry are both spiritual people. They are both an answer to each other’s prayer. Sherry told David “God knew I needed you.”  While planning her wedding Sherry found the perfect song to walk down the aisle to. “God Knew I Needed You” of course. The couple is proof positive that prayers are heard. They look forward to a long life together and lots of traveling.
