I met Cam while out with friends one hot summer night in Houston when she happened to walk into the room. She was out celebrating the birthday of Elena, who is now one of her bridesmaids. When I saw her from across the way I was absolutely smitten. I knew I had to meet her! I worked up the courage to talk to her. After miraculously getting her number, I called her the next morning to invite her to brunch because I couldn't wait to see her again. We started falling in love on our first date and the rest is history!
After three and a half wonderful years, Russell was ready to take our love to new heights and decided to book a relaxing ocean getaway for us in the Dominican Republic. One night, he surprised me with a romantic candlelit dinner on the beach. As the calming ocean waves crashed below us, Russell reflected on our relationship, travels, and how happy we were. I was so caught up in the beautiful moment that I started crying before our entrees even showed up! I wiped my eyes while trying to mind the sunburn, and before I knew what was happening an equally burnt and slightly teary-eyed Russell was down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of our lives together. I thought my heart would explode with joy!
