We met each other in our freshman health class. We had friends that knew each other and we had slightly started to talk as friends, but Syd had ZERO interest. Broc was what Syd would consider to be a "not-so-friendly" guy at first, little did she know it was just freshman love! A year later we ran into each other again through a mutual friend and quickly realized the two of us had a blast together. We would go ice-blocking, attend every single school dance our Sophomore year as "just friends" and loved going on ice cream dates often. We quickly realized we were more than friends, we were BEST friends! After continuously convincing our families and friends that we were just friends, we decided to make it official as boyfriend and girlfriend at the end of the school year. We have not stopped loving each other, laughing and growing alongside one another ever since!

What started out as a well planned and very meticulously thought out trip to Monterey, quickly became what Syd thought was a shockingly sporadic trip planned by Broc. The night before the engagement, Syd brought up the desire to go on little trip somewhere. Broc had not yet told her he was planning to take her out of town the next morning because he was last minute thinking of a creative way to make sure she wouldn't be suspicious of the engagement. He took the chance he had to be spontaneous and roll with what she thought was her idea to leave out of town. We packed our bags, our beloved dog, Scout and headed up the coast. A very LONG and nervous drive for Broc and a scenic, enjoyable cruise for Syd was just the start of the day. Upon arrival, we checked in and immediately went down to the water to let the dog run, but more importantly for Broc to find the perfect spot to ask the big question at sunset. Once the evening rolled around, we took a walk to "exhaust the dog" on the beach. As soon as we hit the sand we asked a stranger (the photographer Broc hired, and Syd had no clue of) for a photo of us and the dog, then proceeded to walk along the beach and Broc popped the big question. It was nothing but amazing from that moment forward. Scout rushed straight into the water while Broc was down on one knee. Syd stood frozen in awe and the photographer captured every moment just right! See you in Malibu!
