We’ve lived in the same neighborhood as one another for about 12 years now. We didn’t really know each other for the first few years. Once we were in high school our parents became friends and Adrian’s dad was ready for him to get a job. We began working together at Rainforest Cafe. We became friends. Best friends. Eventually, I convinced him to get an apartment with me. I only had to bribe him with a free kitten. From there, our friendship blossomed into an amazing and loving relationship. Five years later, he proposed at our favorite adventure place! It was the best zoo trip we have ever gone on. On top of the proposal, we also moved back into the neighborhood where it all began. ❤️

The reason he did not propose with a ring was because I asked him to propose with the shoes I want to wear on my wedding day! I know diamonds are a girls best friend, but shoes have a special place in my heart. I plan to show them off like crazy and wear them for as long as I can on the big day!
