We went out to dinner last night and we were having such a good time, at one point Aaron gave me a kiss, I mean we were not trying to hide we are a couple but we were not showing it off either, it was just a quick kiss. We were just having a nice time, like every other couple there was doing. So when he kissed me, there was a older couple sitting across from us (probably in their 60’s) and the lady had this horrified look on her face and very loudly told us we were disgusting and had no business kissing in public and ruining her meal. It totally changed our night from a loving wonderful night into one where I felt like I was going to puke. I looked around and it seemed everyone was looking at us. I’m sure Aaron felt the same way but he grabbed my hand and whispered to just ignore her, I literally felt like I was going to cry. Then something happened that changed our feelings back to good ones. The ladies husband stood up and said to his wife even louder then his wife had been, that the only thing he saw disgusting was her behavior toward two people that are obviously in love, then he said something else to her that we didn’t hear, walked over to us and shook our hands and said he was so sorry and walked out. That’s about the time, almost every person in the restaurant that saw what happened, started clapping. It was pretty amazing but I was still not sure how to feel. We didn’t go there to be a side show, just to have a nice dinner. As people were leaving, a few people came by and made some nice comments to us, so it kind of did make things better. Oh that lady got her food put in a to-go container and left, she was still giving us dirty looks as she left, but at that point I was like F her! After we finished our dinner our waiter brought us a slice of cheesecake and two forks and said it was “on him” and he was sorry for the disturbance. After we finished dessert and a after dinner drink, we asked for our bill and our waiter said one of the customers, that asked to remain anonymous, had already covered our bill. We got up to leave and Aaron being Aaron, left a fat tip on the table, grabbed my hand and we walked out holding hands. I flippin’ love him so much. I still had mixed feelings this morning about what happened, but I know there is always going to be hateful people in this world and there is nothing that we can do about that, then Aaron told me this morning that I need to look at the positive instead of the negative, the rest of the customers were pretty awesome toward us, including that ladies husband, our waiter, the customers that clapped, the ones that made nice comments, and whoever paid for our dinner. It did end up being a pretty incredible night, that I sure won’t forget. Oh and after we got home, that was pretty incredible too! I have the most amazing man in my life and I feel so lucky for that!

I was going to try to re-write this story but every time I did, the words just didn’t come out right. I had written about it the morning after it happened so I was able to capture more of how we felt about it. Tonight I found it on one of my waistbandboy blog followers blog! Thank you so much for still having this on your blog, it was one of those nights that we never have forgotten. My blog followers are the best! 😏 Thank you #notfrankgoodness
