It's Finally Happening!

We met in August 2007 sitting across from each other for math class in high school. Always wearing some sort of hat, Austin was very sweet and funny back then as he is now. I tell him I had a small crush on him back then but he doesn’t believe me.

We started hanging out more seriously with one another after meeting up again at one of my best friend’s birthday parties. He officially asked me to be his girlfriend by gifting me a gold necklace with a unicorn pendant after planning an amazing dinner out with all of our friends.

After 9 years of friendship and 5 years of dating Austin proposed on my birthday in 2016 (he likes to do things on my birthday apparently). We were about to go to our favorite Karaoke bar when he starts checking his pulse. He shows me his Apple Watch and his heart rate is over 140bpm. I ask him “Are you okay? Should we go to the hospital? What’s wrong?” He says “I’m fine, I just wanted to do this” as he pulls out the ring box (upside down) and asked me to be his wife. An apartment, two dogs, and a house later, we are finally here!
