Charlie and Veronica met in September 2023. They matched online and he planned a lovely night out. He picked her up at her apartment on their first date and she was instantly taken with the tall man leaning against the pickup truck. After a few icebreakers and corny jokes they went to a baseball game and were all smiles. It was apparent throughout the night how important his two sons, Chase (5 at the time) and Cayden (2 at the time) were in his life. The smiles continued. The following evening they met for their second date and Charlie suffered through watching one of Veronicas favorite movies. They pretty much knew they found their person and the relationship between them grew fast. The boys invited Veronica to join the annual visit to the pumpkin patch. Undeniably connected and immediately comfortable as a family, everything started to fit into place. Becoming a family unit - Ware party of 4 - and moving in together made for relationships to grow beyond words. On our family’s Christmas night, the Ware boys left Veronica in the living room and disappeared for a few minutes. They returned with roses in hand. In front of Veronica the three Ware boys took a knee, each handing her a rose, one at a time. Cayden’s sweet voice broke the silence and he asked “Will you marry our dad?” And Charlie followed with “Will you marry me?” Veronica gleefully accepted and Ware party of 4 became official.
