We Gon’ Get Married!

We have been friends for years, since middle school really. There were ups and downs and some awkward growing pains in our friendship, but Nate has always been loyal, kind, and accepting of me. After getting out of my previous marriage, Nate noticed I was no longer wearing a ring and was kind of down. He and I started talking a lot, and he soon invited me to crash his anual shopping trip with Megan and their moms. We had a blast, although I forgot my coat and nearly froze to death until he gave me his. Shortly after, Nate invited me to dinner and a movie. The rest is history. In April of this year, we took advantage of some hot, beautiful weather and went to Wildlife Praire Park. While exploring there, we stumbled upon a beautiful, relativly private lookout spot. While I was absorbed reading a plaque, he got down on one knee, tapped me on the shoulder, and asked me to marry him.
