We met on the first day of our junior year in high school at just 15 & 16 years old. Our physics teacher assigned seats for the class, and we ended up being paired as lab partners for the year.

Though our engagement has already been announced, many people do not know that we got engaged years prior to that announcement. The proposal was on June 7, 2013, a Friday afternoon. He showed up during dinner, completely unannounced, and asked me to come outside! I had BBQ sauce all over my hands. When he went to kneel down, before I even had a chance to think about it, I grabbed him and pulled him up because it was attracting too much attention. He was shaking and went to put the ring on the wrong hand! (We got it on the right finger, BBQ sauce and all)
