One afternoon I traveled to Augusta to spend time with a friend from my hometown. To my pleasant surprise, I was introduced to Stuart, who happened to be my friend's roommate. That evening we enjoyed good food, music, and conversation. From that moment onward, a bond grew, and we became inseparable, setting the course for a remarkable journey together.

On New Year's Day, January 1st, 2017, our story began with an adventure to Currahee Mountain. As we embarked on this journey, I couldn't help but notice the mix of excitement and nerves in Stuart's demeanor. Despite the chilly weather, he insisted on rolling down the windows because he was so "hot." Once we got to the top of the mountain. We took on a little climb to a nice spot. When we finally arrived, we were greeted by a mystic scene, the recent rain having draped the view in an alluring fog, adding an air of enchantment to the surroundings. Gazing over the awe-inspiring landscape, Stuart and I started to pose for a picture, and as he bent down to "tie his shoe," I realized he was down on one knee. There, amid the breathtaking scene, he poured his heart out, expressing his deepest desire to share a lifetime of love and companionship with me. Overwhelmed with joy and love, I couldn't contain my excitement and answered with "Yes!" And so, on that wondrous day, we began our journey together, bound by love and the memory of a magical mountaintop proposal.
