Dorian & Renee's Mountain Lake Engagement
They met at work. They both worked at a hamburger place down in California, and Dorian was the new guy. He told me he noticed Renee almost immediately. She was the beautiful girl that worked there. That said, he didn't talk to her right away, and it was probably three weeks into him working there that Renee said she first noticed him. In short, he didn't wipe the tables down right - so she informed him of the right way. I asked Dorian what he thought in that moment, and he said "I was like, dannngittt! I totally messed it up! Now she thinks I'm an idiot!" but he also said it didn't hold him back, that he was going to go for it.
Fast forward a couple months Renee would end up texting Dorian a question about the schedule. I asked her if she picked him (of all the other employees) because she was interested in him. She said no (although she was open to the idea that it was perhaps sub-conscious, which Dorian insists on). That said, one day she texted him, and it was in that conversation that they started talking. In fact, they never really stopped texting. They then started working together more and more to the point that eventually, Dorian would stand out to Renee.
I asked Renee when she first realized she liked Dorian, and she told me it was when he was cleaning the milk shake machine. He had this great grin on his face and she though "oh dang, he's really cute". It wasn't long after that that they would go on their first date, share their first kiss, and their life would never be the same. I love hearing how sometimes such little things (like working together, or cleaning the milk shake machine) can change everything about someone's life, and in this case, these two will be together forever. I love it.
