We're excited for you to join our celebration!

You read that right, we met at band camp. It was my freshman year when I spotted the girl in the tank top, pink and black plaid shorts, and converse sneakers pretending that she could play the mellophone. I turned to my friend and said "That's the girl I'm going to marry." To say that she was uninterested though, would be an understatement. She strung me along all throughout high school. It seems like things maybe changed when she was my high school prom date in 2009, but no - still much of the same. However, during college, every once in a while, no matter where we were in life, we would always meet up. She of course would drag me to Starbucks for the thousandth time, and one day, in 2012, everything did change. She looked at me one night and said "are you going to ask me out or what?" I proposed to her on her birthday on our trip to Seattle in 2020 (slid in there literally right before covid), we had our beautiful baby girl, Shea, in 2021, and now, November 5, 2021, that promise that I made to my friend and myself all those years ago is going to happen.
