Our Love Story

#sadiesdatetosoulmate

In March 2011, I met this cute boy at my best friends house. We played a big game of Fugitive which essentially is hide n' seek but, the people trying to find you are in a car. Needless to say, I was only going to be able to play if...my mom and Jen (my Aunt) were one of the cars trying to find us! That night, I met Bradley but so did 2 of the most important women in my life. Fast forward to April 2011, I asked Bradley to the Sadie Hawkins dance last minute (literally 2 days before lol). We had the best time! Again, fast forward another month, Bradley walked me to his locker and when he opened it there sat a teddy bear holding a softball that read "girlfriend?". From there, it's history. 3 winter formals, 2 proms, 4 years of long distance, 2 years of living together to NOW. I wouldn't trade our story for anything. LET'S GET MARRIED!

Proposal Story

Bradley had it ALL planned, with the help of some pretty amazing people of course! March 21st was going to be the BEST day ever--hair + makeup, photoshoot with my best friend, the ring, after party and popping champagne with our family and friends. But then, COVID hit. 2 days before the proposal the state of CA went in complete lockdown and what was going to be the best day was cancelled. Fast forward to April 9th, 2020. I was working all day in my comfiest sweats in our kitchen. Sarah, my best friend and co-maid of honor, randomly decided to drive up from San Diego since she had nothing going on. Bradley decided to go to Vons to buy some wine because we planned to have a cozy night in since it was raining. On his way home he decided that he was going to get down on one knee in the comfort of our first apartment together. When he got home, he called me into the kitchen to help him...or so I thought. There he was, with the refrigerator wide open, on one knee with a ring in his hand. He told me, "this is not how I planned it but I've been thinking and it really doesn't matter when or where I ask you this, it just matters who I am with and that's you. Will you marry me?". I was SHOCKED and obviously cried like a baby. It was the easiest yes of my life! That day turned into the best day of my life. I am SO incredibly lucky that I get to marry my best friend and absolutely CANNOT WAIT!
