We were close friends for three years before we started dating. We talked almost every day throughout those three years. After putting it off for so long because we did not want to ruin our friendship, we finally decided to date. We will have been together eight years on November 7th (our wedding day!). On Christmas morning in 2016, we exchanged stocking with each other. In the very bottom of my stocking was a beautiful, glass ring box with the perfect engagement ring in it! Blake knew Christmas was my favorite holiday and decided to make it even better by proposing on Christmas morning. I could not have asked for a better proposal or a better guy to spend the rest of my life with. -Katy
