I have always been a huge fan of paintball. I try to get out to play at least once a week and have recruited so many new players to the sport. There is a group of us that get together quite often to shoot at each other and just have a really good time together, working on our aim.

There was a new guy in the group one day that told me he was a die hard paintball fan. My friends all laughed at him because he did not even have a gun. They prompted me to show him my Spyder paintball supplies and I could tell right away that I had wowed him. I blushed and challenged “Mr. Die Hard” to a duel and he accepted.

I think he was a little bit embarrassed by how quickly I took him down and he apologized for pretending he was all that. He was a cutie, so I accepted his apology and told him he could buy me a cup of coffee. That was four years ago and we are planning a summer wedding this year. And, yes, there will be paintball at the reception.
