We're Getting Married!

A simple message is what started it all! Not knowing I was living in Indiana at the time, I caught Jesse's eye and he just had to say hi! Jesse messaged me back in February 2018 and wanted to go out for coffee. Little did he know I was living 4 hours away in another state. Hesitant to go on a date with a guy that lived back in Ohio, where I never wanted to move back to, I pushed off going on a date. In just a few short months I realized I was ready to move back to Ohio. The week I decided to move back home, I messaged Jesse to go out for coffee with me which we previously discussed 4 months back. On our first coffee date, I knew... he was the man I would spend the rest of my life with! In that week I came back to move half my stuff back, we went on our first date, 2 fishing dates to the lake, to a concert and spent almost that whole week together! And it was then... that our forever had begun.

As we were nearing our 6 month anniversary, Jesse took us out to one of our favorite fancy restaurants. We went to Firebirds in Austin Landing which has one of the most beautiful views around Christmas time! Every tree was lit up and a huge Christmas tree in the center of Austin Landing, surrounded by little waterfalls and bridges! As it was chilly and at the beginning of December, Jesse insisted to walk around and look at the beautiful lights! We walked over a few bridges and looked at the lights, as we were rearing up over the last bridge, he turned around and faced me. He looked at me and said, "I have something for you" as he got down on one knee and said "Ciaran Elizabeth Boyd, Will You Marry Me". I didn't say yes, I said "ABSOLUTELY!" and we were engaged! We are so excited to celebrate our next chapter in our lives with you! See you in October!
