On a cold and windy Saturday afternoon, Jeff asked Courtney to walk to the Georgetown waterfront for dinner. Jeff almost gave himself away when he told Courtney she shouldn't wear sweatpants to dinner. During sunset, on one knee, Jeff proposed to Courtney. They celebrated with a few hot toddies before their dinner reservation at Fiola Mare. Afterwards, they spent a cozy night at home, calling friends and family to share their exciting news.

We have been a couple for nearly half our lives! The very first time we noticed each other was the summer of 2008, just before our junior year of high school. Over the years, through thick and thin, we've grown individually and as a couple. Together we navigated the awkward years of high school, the fun years of college, and the adventurous years of early-adulthood. Now, we're ready to take on married life. Thank you for taking part in the start of our next chapter!
