Dusty and I have known each other since middle school. We had been friends for the longest time, and one day, Dusty asked me on a date, many times... and I said no. Flash forward many years and here we are! Dusty scheduled a photoshoot, with my best friend and maid of honor, and surprised me by proposing with a ring pop. What I thought was just a little joke was the start of a distraction leading to him pulling out an actual ring.
