On our very first date and our 1 year anniversary Alex had taken me to Manito Park. He absolutely knew I loved the place and it was special to us as it had become a place to remind us how much we have done together. One Saturday, he told me he was taking me to dinner but pulled into Manito Park instead. It wasn’t until he asked to hold my keys and phone that I knew what was happening. Next thing I know he was down on one knee. I immediately burst into tears, said "YES," and we were engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you at the wedding!
