We're gettin' hitched!

We met at a party while I was in college. Alan was visiting our mutual friend, Dan, and when he walked in, I thought to myself, "Who is Dan's friend?! What a hunk?!" My group of friends wound up going back to Dan's place later that night and that's when Alan struck up a conversation with me. We remember talking for hours, but neither of us can remember what we talked about for the life of us (haha!). Anyway, Alan wound up returning home to Tennessee a few days later and I didn't hear from him until he added me on Facebook a few months after. From there, we talked and got to know one another better. We decided to give a long distance relationship a try, but with me entering my last year of college and not knowing where my career was going to take me - we decided to end things. Fast forward to 2018, I had established a great life for myself in Tennessee right out of college. There was just one thing missing - the one that got away. I reached out to Alan and we've been inseperable ever since.

Definitely a Christmas to remember. We went to Alan's parent's house, as we do every year, but this year my parent's and Ashley were there as well. After we enjoyed a lovely meal, we started to open presents one by one. At the very end, Alan stood up and said, "I'd like to give Abbie her present now". He took me by the hand, got down on one knee, pulled out of his pocket a box with the most beautiful ring inside, and asked me to marry him. FINALLY! :)
