At the end of our freshman year of college, mutual friends convinced Luke to talk to Allie! We gave it a shot and it ended up working!! On our second date, we took a 5-hour road trip to Knoxville, TN because Allie shattered her phone on the first date! But hey! It forced him to have to spend more time with her;) Afterwards, we went to get ice cream and Allie tricked Luke into smelling the "stinky whipped cream" and smashed it all in his face! I guess that was the cherry on top because after that we were inseparable!

This came as a total surprise to Allie! One month shy of our two year anniversary, Luke told Allie that we were going to go on a hike with his family on the Blue Ridge Parkway. At the top of the trail, Allie was overtaken by the view, oblivious to Luke and his parents getting in position. As Luke stood next to Allie for "a picture", she could hear his heart beating out of his chest. Then he got down on one knee and Allie was very surprised! After asking multiple times "are you kidding?", she squealed with excitement! Definitely a day we will never forget!
