I met Ben when I was visiting a kindergarten best friend for her birthday. While out celebrating, I spotted a tall, handsome man and instantly knew I had to win his heart. Sounds like love at first sight, right? As luck would have it, my friend asked me, "Carissa, oh my god, you like Ben?!" She introduced us as she knew him from college, and together him and I spent the rest of the evening inseparable, and have been ever since.
With a ring purchased and my parents blessing checked off the list, Ben knew he had to find the perfect spot to propose. The picturesque moment was planned to happen on our vacation with my family in Disney at the Magic Kingdom. Now, I am a planner and already had the day perfectly drawn out with fast passes that I had sought out months in advance. With a Space Mountain fast pass to attend, I was wondering why Ben was dragging his feet to get to our ride destination, but unbeknownst to me, he was designing his master plan. After family photos on the bridge overlooking a perfect view of Cinderella's castle, I looked over shocked to find Ben on one knee popping the big question. I cried, said "YES," and we were engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Florida!
