We’re getting married!

We met when we were both young. As we grew up, something seemed to spark between us. At the time Corey was away for basic training. We began our relationship with distance between us. I would send Corey letters and even joined his friends on a trip to visit him. In 2016 Corey moved back to NWA and our relationship really began to bloom. We loved being able to spend more time together and getting more than just a weekend to be together. We have grown individually and as a couple, sharing milestone after milestone together. We now look forward to adding our wedding to the list.

I went car shopping March 2019. Jokingly I told Corey that if he was going to propose anytime soon he should stop me from making the financial investment. Corey nodded his head and said " I got you a ring." I paid no attention to this and went about my car purchase. A week later we went on vacation. We took a week long cruise to Cozumel, Jamaica, and The Grand Cayman Islands. The weather was not in our favor, Corey waited three days before deciding he just needed to do it. His plans had to adjust but he knew he was ready to ask. We had just finished eating our midnight snack, when Corey tried asking me to go out onto the balcony, since it was still raining I went to the closet to get my rain jacket. When I turned around to my surprise Corey was on one knee and asked me the question I had only ever dreamt would ever happen. With tears forming in my eyes and a shaky voice I said "YES!"
