Our story began at Cambus where we both worked while going to school at Iowa. It didn't take long for us to get to know each other, and didn't take much longer to know we wanted to spend the rest of our days and nights laughing, talking and enjoying our time with each other. We adopted Bailey, our fur-baby, just a few short months into our relationship, and we moved in together just shortly before that. Our story may not be the longest, but we're ready to take whatever life throws at us together and as a team, and we couldn't be more excited.

The proposal happened while we were on vacation in Orlando. Andrew had planned to ask while we went to Disney, but the day turned out to be so hot that everybody ended up being sweaty and moody, and the proposal didn't happen. The new plan was to propose while taking family pictures. We all got dressed up, and went down to a small pier on the pond at our hotel. Andrew had planned on his mom to be filming so we had video and pictures of the whole thing. We were trying to think of different silly poses to do when Andrew suggested we do the 'proposal' pose. As I sit there with a goofy, confused look on my face, Andrew gets down on his knee, pulls out the ring and asks, "Caitlyn Mae Mitts, will you marry me?".
