Annabella: We met for the first time in 2000 at View Acres Elementary School where we were in Kindergarten together, but weren't reunited until middle school. While we grew closer in middle school, we didn't start dating until 2011–the end of our freshman year of high school. He kissed me one day after we hung out and then left for vacation–what good timing this boy had. He finally asked me out three weeks later, on the 4th of July.
Elliot: I proposed to Annabella in New York City while we were visiting her sister. I had intially planned to propose to her earlier in November for her birthday, but I couldn't get plans together. The trip to New York seemed like the perfect opportunity. It finally hit me when we were taking the train in to the city–I was going to propose. She had already almost found the ring earlier in the week and I was nervous that something would go wrong. Annabella, Natalie, Ransom and I were walking through Central Park, enjoying our time together–but I was secretly looking for the perfect spot and build up the courage to ask her to marry me. I finally found the perfect spot, right on The Lake. Annabella thought we had just stopped to take some pictures; but little did she know, this was the spot I would ask her to marry me. I'm so happy she said yes!
