We're getting married!

Technically we met in high school, but it seems silly to start our story there. Let's jump to years later, when we were in our early twenties, and started hanging out again in the same friend group. We would run into each other at mutual friends’ parties and after hanging out a few times, I asked Charles to help me move out of my old apartment; we didn't think much of it, but that ended up being our first date. After that we kept meeting up for dinner, drinks and movies, realizing we really liked being around each other. That was 6 years ago, and we’ve been pretty much inseparable ever since!

On July 4th, in our little apartment, while slow dancing to Al Green's "Let’s Stay Together" record, Charles got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Obviously, I said yes, and for the rest of the day we celebrated with friends, family, and fireworks!
