OUR STORY
Once upon a time... Over two years ago in a Spring-filled
town of Boone, there was a long, drawn-out, heavy winded Contemporary
Music Festival put on by the brothers of Phi Mu Alpha at Appalachian
State University. Required to go to these concerts were two
young single students, a beautiful music major named Kimberly
and a remarkably handsome business-minded boy named Sam.
One night, during this week, Sam happened upon Kimberly
who had not eaten all day and was trying hard not to kill everyone
in sight. Lucky enough he had an entire box of Krispy Kreme
doughnuts in which he could share with the lovely lady and thusly
save the world from her wrath. Once their eyes met, (and the
doughnut was exchanged) there was magic in the air. Angels sang
alleluia, fireworks exploded, cities rejoiced, dogs kissed cats,
you know, mass hysteria.
In amongst the typical after-concert noise
a poignant thought entered into Sam's head, "was I going
to be late for CBS Survivor?" This moment passed when he
realized he was on his way home, but another one quickly pushed
deeper into his brain, "ask the pretty girl to come watch
Survivor." It was a great thought, a brilliant thought worthy
of the Nobel Prize of Intelligence or other honorable mention.
Before Kimberly could leave the Broyhill Music Building Sam caught
up to her and nervously asked, "um, ah would ah, um you like
to watch, um Survivor, ah over at my, um place?" With a special
gleam in her eyes Kimberly looked deeply into Sam's glassy cold
fish-like face and quietly said, "uh Sure."
Almost two years later, through all the
laughs and tears, the sun and rain, and of course one more Contemporary
Music Festival, Kimberly and Sam were still together and going
strong. Strong enough that on a cold, Boone, Tuesday, December
night, Sam had a present for Kimberly. After they had decorated
their Charlie Brown Christmas Tree, the two lovebirds sat down
on the couch to look at the tree in the candlelight. Fleeting
moments passed as a nervous Sam stood up and asked Kimberly to
join him next to the tree. From under a pillow he produced a small
bag that held a present. When she opened the package her eyes
widened as she picked up a silver ornament with the words "Sam
and Kimberly 2003" handwritten on the side. An amused smile
widened over her face, but the surprise was on the other side
of the present. She turned the ornament over and with wide watering
eyes read the handwritten, "Will you Marry Me?". Immediately
a very nervous Sam went on one knee and while taking the ring
from his pocket asked his princess to be his bride.
She said yes... and the rest is history....
