One of my best friends from high school in California, Maddie, asked me if she should take a job in Lexington, Kentucky. I told her I loved Kentucky and she should come out and join me. Over the next few months, I became quick friends with Maddie's coworkers. Maddie eventually moved back to work for Alltech in California, but I continued to hang out with her friends from Alltech. I decided to join them for dinner and drinks one summer night in downtown Lexington and was pleasantly surprised by an unfamiliar face at the table- Ethan. I was actually the one to ask Ethan on our first date and he turned me down! Long story short, it all works out in the end!
We both were hoping for a personal proposal that was special for us and that was exactly what we got. Ethan came over to my house on a Tuesday night after a work event (from which he brought me free flowers and left over hors d'oeuvres). It was a beautiful night so we decided to walk to Kentucky Native cafe where we talked until last call. We walked up the steps to my front door where he asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. It was simple, perfect and personal. After the "yes!" we ate the left over hors d'oeuvres and called our family and friends.
