We're Getting Married!

Almost 9 years ago, we met in 7th period bible class during freshman year of high school. Around junior year, we became best friends and started our relationship. We graduated together and then it was off to college. While enduring four years of long distance dating, we had our highs and lows but one thing that increased daily was our love for each other. Now we are getting married and we are excited to celebrate our love with family and friends.

February 9th, 2019 The day started with a wonderful day at Laguna Beach. We got my favorite sandwich at a deli near my house and had a picnic on the Laguna Beach boardwalk. After lunch, we walked around the city looking at art and the beautiful views of the ocean. The day got even better when he bought us gelato and it was so delicious. When it got closer to sunset, Ben mentioned that we should go to Crystal Cove State Beach to walk on the sand and take pictures. At the beach, we enjoyed walking and playing in the tide pools but little did I know, he was going to propose. Ben mentioned to me that there was a hidden spot that we should go to take pictures at. After hiking for a while, we made it to the overlook and the view was spectacular! Ben set up his tripod so we could take a picture together and told me to turn around and look out in the distance so he could take a picture of me. I turned around and enjoyed the beautiful view of the ocean. When he was all done setting up, he told me to turn back around. To my surprise, there he was handsome as ever on one knee asking me to marry him! I was shocked and speechless and started to cry happy tears. We have been waiting for this day for years and I could not believe it was finally happening. I was engaged to my best friend!
