Ben and I met on May 11th, 2018! I was going out with some friends at Buschwackers country bar for a girls night out. We were looking to do some bull riding and country dancing! As we were all standing around a table one of my girlfriends, Mara, had the idea of country dancing with a boy. I turned her idea down and went on talking to some friends. the next thing I remember is her dragging Ben along to our table and introducing me to the guy who is going to country dance with me. Wow, I was blown away; handsome, muscular, a smile that blew me away and his eyes gave me butterflies! I remember feeling so nervous and excited at the same time to do some dancing with a cute guy! After our dance we sat at a table, just us two, staring at each other and getting to know each other. After that night we were inseparable together! From learning how to be parents together, to moving into an apartment together and then finding our house together and making it our home, teaching Leila how to take her first steps and taking this challenge called life together!

We had planned a morning of hiking during our trip in Hawaii! It was October 16th, 2019 and we were visiting the mountains of Hilo, HI and hoping to find the waterfalls that the locals were telling us we had to experience. We had the most beautiful scenery and when we got to the main waterfall we decided to take a picture together. Little did I know he had planned this spot to be our engagement all along. All of our friends and family were in on the action and everyone was eagerly texting Ben asking him if he had popped the question yet. As we were taking a picture together Ben kneeled down on his knee and asked me to be his forever love. I didn't know what was blinding me more, the sparkle of the wedding ring or the brightness of the sun! Clearly I said yes, here we are months away before we say "I do" and awaiting to spend our magical night with all of our friends and family !
