We’re getting married!

After relocating to Syracuse, NY for school I did what all 20 something year old's do, joined a dating app, Bumble. Avery, just back from deployment in Germany, had the same idea. We matched right away and soon after Avery asked me out. About a hour into our date the bartender came over and asked "How long have you guys been together?" We laughed and explained this was our first date. To which the bartender replied, "Well come back and visit me when you get married."

Growing up in Rochester I loved to go to High Falls. It was my favorite spot to read a book, enjoy a coffee or hang out with friends. So, of course, when I decided to bring Avery home with me for the first time, our first stop was High Falls. We walked, enjoyed the fall weather, and I explained to Avery all the reasons this little spot meant so much to me. 16 months later we went back to High Falls. As we walked the bridge Avery suggested we stop and take in the beautiful falls. As I was looking out at the falls I noticed Avery wasn't next to me. I turned around and there he was, on one knee. To the applause of one elderly couple, I said yes to forever, in my favorite spot, to the man of my dreams!
