Caitlin and Alec met in Cincinnati doing one of their favorite activities. While shopping Alec asked for Caitlin’s opinion about a very tastefully chosen pink button-up. To Alec’s surprise, Caitlin loved the chosen attire and willingly gave her number in hopes of a first date. Alec asked Caitlin to dinner a few nights later and in a series of many dates convinced her to be his girlfriend. This was proven to be the best decision of Caitlin’s life. Through many visits between Virginia and Ohio (thanks to Caitlin’s desire to chase the veterinarian dream) they quickly became inseparable. After graduation, Alec showed Caitlin all the beautiful parts of Cincinnati and welcomed her into his friend group. It didn’t take long for both of them to realize that there would soon be two less fish in the sea. After moving in together and celebrating the official ‘first home,’ Alec decided it was time to finally give Caitlin the ring (which had actually been designed in November 2017). On May 28th, 2018, while having a night at home, Caitlin continued with her ‘nightly regimen’ of applying a charcoal mask (a beautiful green color) over her T-zone. After taking out their dogs (Stella and Buster) Caitlin came back into the house to search for Alec. Little did she know he had taken one of their pieces of decor (rustic of course) and spelled out ‘Will You Marry Me’ in bold letters. This was the easiest and best question Caitlin had ever been asked. And so the love story continues.
