I have known Brad for close to 20 years and even though it is the cliche' thing to say, I have never seen him this happy. I have known Kerri pretty much since I graduated college and started playing kickball with her, and as much I would like to pretend to be younger, we all know that, that was several years ago and in turn, I have known Kerri for a while also.
I will skip all the mushy stuff and just focus on one event. We were all in Boston for a vacation and we were out to lunch and Brad got a call on his cell phone from Kerri's father. He looked at his phone and looked at all of us, and none of us knew what was going on. Brad had this look of panic and being frightened and shocked all at the same time. He could only think that if Mr. Sullivan was calling him, nothing good could be coming from this call. He went outside and took the call. We were all sitting there coming up with all types of reasons( none of which were remotely possible) why he would be calling.
Brad came back in and his look had gone from frightened and nervous to happy and excited still with a little bit of shock to it. He then preceded to tell us the story of the call and about the diamond and what Mr. Sullivan's plan was for the engagement ring etc..From that moment on, it was on, as the kids like to say.
Every time you are around Brad and Kerri, you just smile, because you can look at them and see how happy they are and how not only are they truly in love, but how truly happy they are to just be around each other.
At the end of the day, all anyone is looking for is to be able to fall in love with their best friend and be able to spend the rest of their life with the person they love and care about the most, and it is obvious that they have found that. Brad and Kerri both have great loving families and great loving friends, and as part of that group of friends, I would just like to say that we are all so happy for both of you and deep down we are all jealous and we all hope to have the love and closeness that you two do in our own life....
