Finally, it’s happening! We are getting married!

Collin and I met our senior year of high school, and from there the sparks began to fly. On December seventh, after working up enough courage to ask Collin for his phone number, he finally asked me on a date! We went to my favorite coffee shop, The Vault, for our first date in downtown Coeur d'Alene, ID.

Sparks were flying, literally! It was the Fourth of July, and Collin and everyone were suddenly scrambling, asking around "Where is Acacia, where is Acacia?" Finally, in the midst of the smoke, Collin finds me. I watch as he nervously begins to say my full name, "Acacia Rose Haas, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Instantly I burst into tears, tears of joy. He slides the ring on my finger, and before I know it I am feeling a whirlwind of emotions. Our families rush over to us, there is hugging and crying, laughter, and then some more crying. All in all it was a beautiful night, not only shared by Collin and myself, but also well spent with our families. It truly is a day we will cherish till the end of our lives.
