I covered my sadness with make-up<\/p>\n
The pretentious restaurant smelled of seafood<\/p>\n
I joined a dating club because of my terrible luck with men<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I did not know what to expect<\/p>\n
I was as terrified as a child entering school for the very first time<\/p>\n
I had low expectations<\/p>\n
And then he walked in with his black tuxedo and shiny black shoes<\/p>\n
His name was Christian Ward<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We bonded over our love of seafood<\/p>\n
We shared a secret look of seafood lovers\u2019 horror as another attendee ordered a steak!<\/p>\n
We shared a secret laugh<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After dinner, he asked for another date<\/p>\n
I gladly obliged<\/p>\n
Two years later we were married<\/p>\n
I never walk into a restaurant alone now<\/p>\n
My ridiculous dating club changed my life<\/p>\n
For I had met Christian Ward<\/p>\n
