After being together for a little more than 8 years, Noah finally proposed on June 28, 2019. It was Ella's (my sister & MOH) birthday so I wasn't suspicious! My family used Ella's birthday as an excuse to have dinner at my Grandma and Grandpa Brinkmann's house here in Washington, MO. Noah drove us to their house and he parked in a spot that us grandkids NEVER parked in! I kept telling Noah "Ummm we can't park here! Hello??!" But Noah insisted. He made sure I didn't see all his family's cars hidden by the shed and barn! I walked into my grandparents house and I saw my siblings, grandparents, parents, and Noah's parents and grandparents. I was very confused! They all yelled at me to turn around and when I did, Noah was on one knee with my dream ring! It was such an amazing day!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided it would be best to postpone our reception to a later date. We will still go forward with our ceremony on November 21st with only the bridal party and immediate family invited. On July 24, 2021, we will have the reception we hoped for! Stay tuned for anymore updates.
