Our engagement began in July 2021 overlooking the clear blue waters of the Argolic Gulf in Greece. We had climbed the 999 steps to reach the Fortress of Palamidi. Aaron knew this was the moment he had been waiting for and nervously awaited the perfect time to propose. On numerous occasions, just when he was about to kneel, a loud Greek child would come running by ruining the intimacy of the moment. However, the time finally presented itself as we began to descend, stopping at an outcrop overlooking the historic city of Nafplio, plunging out into the Mediterranean. Aaron, trembling at this point, held Brooke's hand and told her the truth. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Share a life of adventures! Build a home and a family together! Kneeling, he asked for her hand in marriage. She replied, “Are you serious?!” After being reassured, she said Yes! We are so excited to celebrate our union with you between the Salish Sea and the Cascade Mountains of Washington as we begin the next adventure of our life together.
