Met in youth group and didn't pay any mind to one another, so we've had mutual friends for the last 15 years or so. We were at a mutual friends party on August 4, 2007 and I said out loud "i'm going to marry that man", not knowing who he even was at the time. He was leaving to be stationed in England at the end of the month so we had a limited time together so we spent those two weeks having small interactions and a few long, late night talks about life. I made it very clear we were going to be married someday, he wasn't keen on the idea and quite honestly he should have probably filed a restraining order! He left on deployment the following May and thats finally when he realized he loved me (I know he would come around to my stalking someday). After two very long and weird years of only seeing each other a few times he proposed to me on Aug 9, 2009 with the help of our closest friends Scott and Robby! We then eloped 9 days later on St. Andrews Beach in Florida. We are now so excited to re-create that day with all of our closest friends and family!
