We’re getting married!

It was July 2012 when we met in an elevator in a building in downtown Nashville. We both just moved into the same building. We soon learned we were both from Vicksburg, MS and had many mutual friends. After years of friendship, we welcomed our son, Miles, in January 2016.

We had been talking about getting married since the summer. We agreed we wanted to be engaged by the end of the year. I had expected Andy would propose while visiting our families during the Christmas holiday. Andy had a different plan. It was a Friday afternoon around 3pm. He sent me a text while i was at work letting me know he would be picking our son up early from daycare and would take care of dinner. I was still completley in the dark. I walk in door from work and he and Miles are all dressed up. Next thing i know Andy is down on one knee while asking me to marry him! I was so emotional i wasnt even sure i said yes! Miles handed me a note that said “Mom will you marry daddy? Check yes or no”. I obviously checked yes. He made a dinner reservation at the restaurant we were at earlier in the summer when we decided to get married. It was a perfect night!
