We met in English class our junior year of high school. The teacher asked everyone to turn to their partner to discuss the previous night's homework. We looked over to one another with slight panic. After realizing that we were both slackers, we talked about everything other than the Great Gatsby. The rest happened on its own.
After a day of going to the Brewer's Game, Ray suggested that we take the dog for a walk. So we picked up my brother's and headed to the Seven Bridges trail in South Milwaukee. All of us had a great time walking and laughing until we reached the end of the trail by Sunset. On the beach at sunset, Ray went down on one knee and asked if I would marry him. I embarrassingly answered, "Of course, you dummy!" The wedding planning then commenced.
