We're getting married!

Adam and I were set up by our good friends, Karlie Fish and Dan Plys. Karlie and I were roommates at the time, and Dan is Adams long time best friend. When Karlie met Adam for the first time she immediately let me know I needed to meet Dan's friend because he was perfect for me. Five months later I decided I was interested. After lots of pestering on Dans part, they set us up on a blind date where the four of us went to see the Beauty and the Beast remake. And we've spent pretty close to every day together since.

After about three days of knowing each other, Adam and I were on a walk through the rose garden. We passed the gazebo and I told him that’s where my brother proposed to his wife. Adam teased, “That’s so cliche. When I propose to you I’m going to do it with something cool.... like a fish!” About a little over a year and a half later he did just that! We had talked a lot about marriage and preparing ourselves to be on the same page about starting our life together, so we both knew the proposal was coming. I pretty frequently told Adam that I just wanted sometime sweet and intimate; it didn’t need to be too extravagant. So one day, (which I didn’t realize was the day he was planning to propose up north at a family friends cabin) I asked if we could go buy some fishies before we went out of town. He immediately jumped on that idea! We went and got our new guppy babies -- after he dragged me to three different outdoor stores to look at hunting items -- and got them all set up at our house. After I dumped the fish into the tank I turned around to see Adam on one knee right in the middle of our living room (our dog Penny was of course trying to sit in his lap too). And he asked me to spend the rest of my life with him, with a fish just like he promised, and in the middle of our first home together with our sweet puppy babe plopped in his lap. It was perfect.
