Celebrate Love

Neither Vince nor I ever dreamed that we would graduate high school and in the same year be introduced to the love of our life, but that is exactly what happened. In the fall of 2015 I reluctantly gave in to going on a double date/blind date. One of my girlfriends had been trying to set me up with someone for awhile and she thought her coworker (Vince) would be perfect. Although that first double date was slightly awkward (aren't they all?), Vince and I saw each other every other day for the next few weeks and began to fall in love with each other in every way possible. Shortly after Christmas we were officially dating <3

Vince and I had talked about getting married before, but I didn't think it would be until after I was finished with school, boy was I wrong! On a beautiful fall day, we headed out to his parents house to go on a hike to see the colors changing. It is a nice adventurous hike through the woods to get to the lookout point. We were nearly there, in fact some of his family was already at the top and his parents were behind us. We stopped because it was a warm day and we wanted to get some water. I turned around to get my backpack off my back and get my water. When I turned back around, Vince was down on his knee!!!! I was so stunned and utterly speechless. I said yes and just like that, the next level of our journey began! We are so excited to get to celebrate with all of our friends and family this coming June 24th (yes, we know it's a Sunday).
