The Future Chiaras

One day, Chuck told me we were going to grab a drink with our friends at the Raleigh Beer Garden. He then asked me to go to the Raleigh Arboretum for a walk before we met up with our friends. I did not suspect anything as Chuck told me all along he was going to wait until he had all his teeth before he asked me to marry him (for those of you that don't know he was missing a front tooth, don't ask!). I should have guessed he was up to something! We walked around the entire Arboretum before Chuck stopped us and started to profess his love for me. He could barely get the words out in an outburst of emotion when he proposed. I was completely shocked and overcome with happy tears as I said yes and accepted the beautiful ring he chose. We embraced and cried together before my family arrived to take pictures and begin the celebration. Afterwards, Chuck arranged for all of our friends to meet us at the beer garden to celebrate with cupcakes and Chuck's favorite, Hazy IPA's. Chuck proposed to me on Father's Day, which made it extra special because my dad is no longer with us. This will be a day we will never forget! We even snapped an engagement pic with toothless Chuck!!
