We met sophomore year of college at the University of New Hampshire. Two of our roommates were dating, which led to us meeting at a party. We were first friends for a while, but by senior year our relationship had grown. The rest is history!

Over Valentine's Day weekend, a few of my best friends came out to Minnesota to visit me. It turned out to be the coldest weekend of the winter (-10 degrees!), yet the girls insisted we visit a frozen waterfall in Minneapolis. Unbeknownst to me, one friend grabbed JV at the airport on the way. Once at the waterfall, we lined up to take a photo and I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to find JV on one knee with a ring in his hand. He had just been out to Minnesota the weekend before so I had absolutely no idea he had been planning this. We spent the rest of the weekend celebrating our engagement with friends. It was the best weekend of my life!
