In the summer of 2006 before they went to high school, Bobby and Caraline were both 14 and invited to a mutual friend's birthday party. The party was at the beach, and Bobby was of course down in the water with his friends. Caraline happened to notice him skim boarding and asked him to teach her how to do it. For those of you who don't know, it is extremely difficult and Caraline ended up just watching as to not be embarrassed in front of the cute blonde boy with the gorgeous blue eyes. Fast forward to their time in high school where they had many mutual friends, went to the same parties, hung out at each other's houses and developed rather large crushes on each other. It wasn't until their junior year that they finally became a couple for the first time. They spent that school year riding around in his big red truck, going to the beach EARLY on Saturday mornings so Bobby could surf, Caraline saw a LOT of volleyball games, and they attended their junior prom together. (Fun Fact: Bobby asked Caraline to prom using fortune cookies that all said inside: "You will go to Prom with Bobby Luft") As young love so often does, it ended with a little heartbreak and more than a few tears. During their college years they both had other serious relationships. Caraline was away at school in Kentucky while Bobby remained in California. But they never lost contact. They would see each other when Caraline was home and they never stopped caring for each other. When Caraline finally decided to move back home for good in 2016 after living in many different far way cities, they knew it was their chance to try this thing for real. After a few months of testing the waters, and playing a little hard to get, the two of them were finally back together. Two and half years from that date on the top of the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas, Bobby got down on one knee and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him.
