We're getting married!

Ferris Wheels have always been our "thing." We started dating in December of 2022, and one of the first few dates we took was to County Creek Produce Farm's Trail of Lights. Among the light displays there is hot chocolate, a small group of farm animals, and various activities such as a jumping pad, slides, and, of course, a Ferris Wheel. On this Ferris Wheel is where we had our first kiss 😊 Since then, anywhere new we go that has a Ferris Wheel, we ride it! Fast forward to our most recent vacation. In August 2025, we went on vacation with my (Brooke's) family to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We had previously discussed getting engaged on vacation, so I knew it was coming. On the first night, we went to a shopping area called "The Island." On this island (it was surrounded by the tiniest river), there was a Ferris Wheel. Fast forward to the last night before we left, and we went to The Island one last time for some ice cream. Since it was the last night, we decided to ride the Ferris Wheel, and I am so glad we did! Aydain got down on one knee right as I had gone to take a photo of the view. Of course, I said "yes!" One girl in the gondola behind us even managed to snag a photo during the moment! It was just the most perfect moment for us, and Ferris Wheel's will always be our "thing" 🎡
