We met in 5th grade when Cole moved into the house across the street from my best friend at the time. Cole started school at Ida where we both developed crushes on one another. I posted on my instagram “drop a heart if you have a crush on me” and he drew a heart on a piece of paper, took a picture of it, and sent it to me through DM. The rest is history! 10 years later he proposed at one of our favorite date spots, Crosswinds Marsh. I thought we were just going on a walk, but when I rounded the corner there was a puppy waiting for me in a playpen with a bandana that read “will you marry me?”. He sure knows the way to my heart. Little did I know my sister caught the whole thing on video as she was hiding in one of their enclosed pavilions! We are overjoyed to share this next step in life with all of our family and friends by our sides! ~ Caroline
