We met in high school, but didn't talk to each other very much. After Ben graduated high school, he began texting me and finally asked me out on a double date. It took him months to finally ask me to be his girlfriend, but we have been happily together ever since.
It was our five year anniversary of dating. We went out to a nice dinner and then went for a walk on the walking bridge to kill time before "meeting up with our friends". Ben had a photographer there to capture the moment and he asked me to marry him. Of course, I said YES! Ben also planned an engagement party (with the help of our families), so we could celebrate with all of our family and friends. It was the perfect night!
