Peyton and Carlee met in 10th grade! Well, they actually met at a picnic in 8th grade, but Peyton thought Carlee was annoying. That changed, however, because they are spending the rest of their lives together! Peyton first messaged Carlee in August of 2016, but Carlee did not give him a chance until March 2017. But now, the rest is history; everything worked out in the end!
Peyton proposed under the Christmas lights at Natural Tunnel State Park. The couple has spent countless weekends there camping with Carlee's family. During their first weekend there, Peyton and Carlee carved their initials into a rock at the tunnel, and they are still there today! Over the years, the couple has visited the tunnel at Christmas time to see the lights almost every year! Peyton knew how special this place was to Carlee, and he knew that it was the perfect place to propose. It was the most magical night.
