Michael and I ran into one another briefly at Bread and Circuses a few years back when we were out with friends. We had met several times before, during our college years, since we have a lot of mutual friends. I didn't think anything of it that night at Bread and Circuses because I didn't even think he remembered my name! ... little did I know I would be hearing from him shortly after that very night. A couple weeks later we hungout for the first time and the rest is truly history!
Michael surprised me with an amazing trip for my birthday. We were going to the Bahamas!!! Fast forward 5 months and we had our bags packed and passports in hand. We had QUITE the adventure making our way to the Bahamas. Failed passports.. lost bags.. delayed/cancelled flights, but after over 48 hours of travel we finally made it to a small, remote island at 3am in the morning. Driving to our house we had absolutely no idea the paradise we were about to wake up to. The first morning we hopped in the car and headed to one of the only grocery stores on the small island. We were in absolute awe that morning with the beauty surrounding us. The last thing on my mind was the possibility that this could be the day Michael asked me to marry him. We got back to our house and headed to the beach. We're sitting for about 20 minutes when Michael says he's "running back to the house for something." When he walked back he started saying something about me standing up. By the time I had gotten on my feet he was down on one knee and the rest is a little fuzzy!! We cried, danced and had lots of sandy hugs all on this beautiful beach all to ourselves. The rest of the week was pure bliss and we couldn't wait to come home and share with everyone!
