On this Valentine's Day, I wanted to reshare my story of love!  

I am one lucky girl. Not only was I able to find my Prince Charming, but I have a Fairytale Story to go along with it, filled with beautiful gowns and scary dragons! (Ok, well, maybe the pink dragon wasn’t THAT scary- but still!)   

Langdon and I met while working at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. I was a magician’s assistant, and he seated people for the shows - while wearing a toga, I might add.    We had always seen each other around the theater, but were officially introduced at a party. Our first date was for lunch at The Macaroni Grill - I still remember how dressed up Langdon got! So much classier than the toga I had always seen him in.

We dated for five years, all of which were full of laughter and smiles. It was easy being around each other, we were so comfortable together from the start.  That is, except for one day - the day he asked me to marry him! Of course, at the time I had no idea what was going on. We were in upstate New York visiting my family, and Langdon was not acting quite like himself. Out of the blue, my dad asked him, “How long have you and Sharon been dating for?” I looked at Langdon, and for the first time in my life, I saw his loss for words. He replied “We’ve been together for uh… five years…and it’s been a lot of...umm...fun.” I looked at him, about to ask what was he trying to say, when all of the sudden he flew down to one knee and asked me to marry him! I started crying and hugged him so tight- I couldn’t get the word “yes” out fast enough!

We were married during 2002 in the chapel at Caesar’s Palace, where it all began.

Looking back, I can’t believe it’s been 13 years since we said “I do.” We have had such a fun time along the way, including me starting here at QVC! Since my schedule can get crazy with show times, we try to make time for each other every day by walking Fozzie, our poodle. Movies are our favorite past time - we even go to the Philadelphia comic book convention due to our love of Star Trek and Star Wars (see it IS possible to <3 both! ).  

If one of us has a bad day, there’s a routine for that too. Since he is so tall, we have found the perfect hug spot - me on the bottom step of the staircase, and him on the floor!

And now of course, with the addition of our two amazing children, it just gets better and better.

At the end of the day, not much else matters, except for love.  

I wish you and your Valentine lots of love and happiness!  

Always,

Sharon  

P.S.  Recently stumbled upon my wedding dress and - guess what?  It still fits - just like Langdon and I still fit together!
