"I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day." The Notebook

Brandon and Althea have been in eachother's lives longer than they knew upon meeting. They actually went to high school together. Brandon was the tech nerd who hung out in the computer lab on lunches and was mostly a quiet one. Althea was involved in the dance, theater and choir programs, jumped between friend groups. It makes sence their paths never crossed. At a mutual friends summer party in August 2011, over a year after they graduated, they met offically. Both deciding to go last minute to say hi and have a quick visit. It started with a hello afterbumping into eachother, that lead to further conversation, exchanging numbers, to finally him asking her out to dinner and a movie. The rest is history.

After being together for 12 years, it was only natural Althea would have a hopefull feeling for every outing and date. One morning, Brandon asked if they wanted to spend their Sunday at the beach and get a bite to eat. They ended up stoping at a cliff look out they had visited before. The sun was just starting to set and the view was beautiful. In the mist of taking pictures Brandon asked Althea to take a panoramic video. Althea started filming and Brandon stepped back out of the frame. Of course the thought popped into her head. "Oh! this is it, hes gonna do it!" But then the thought vanished, telling herself to just enjoy the view. Phone still in hand she heard her name. Her head whipped around so fast and eyes widenned as she saw Brandon on his knee holding a little wooden ring box with a beautiful solitare ring. " Will you marry me?" Part of her was is such shock that this was finally happening. The first words out of her mouth with a catch in her throat, "Are you serious?" as she also got on her knees and kissed him. "Is that a yes?" he asked, and she replied "of course its a yes!". They watched the sunset, just them two. They couldn't wait to share with everyone, but was so happy to just be there together.
