We met in high school. Brian was 17 and I was 16. We had mutual friends that hung out together and that’s when we started to notice each other. Luck would have it that we went on vacation with my best friend at the time, her boyfriend and her family. After that trip everything changed. We actually never have figured out when we actually became “Heather and Brian.” One day we realized that we had become a couple and never looked back. It’s never been a question if we would be together because there is no one else we would want to spend our lives with.

He originally bought the engagement ring with me there. I wore it home thinking this is it. Well, I was wrong. We got home and he took it back. It would be months before I would see it again in the Dominican Republic. On our last night in the Dominican I was trying to watch a basketball game. He came over and laid across me on the bed. His heart was beating so hard. I accused him of getting drunk and ordered him off me. That’s when he pulled out the ring and asked me to marry him. It’s been “Us” ever since
