It was less than 2 days before a best friend’s wedding, but still the perfect time for a proposal. That Independence Day was the day that Caleb decided to say “goodbye” to his, and “hello” to a life long partnership with Alyssa. The evening was a warm wet one; in that it was pouring rain off and on. (One of the very things Caleb and Alyssa have in common is their mutual hatred for rain) Even with the rain, they enjoyed the 4th of July fireworks, family, and some sparklers in the bed of his pickup truck. At the grande firework finale, Caleb popped the question and obviously Alyssa said “Thank you.” Now they are soon destined to be Mr. & Mrs. Newland.
