John and I first met and dated back in 2014. We actually met at a church we were both attending at the time. We dated for a few months, but then decided to break up. At one point in the relationship I remember asking him if we were just wasting our time together, because of how unsure I was in a future for us. He so confidently said, "we will get married one day, just trust me." After the break up I was confident... he was just full of it. After we got over the initial feelings of bitterness, we became close friends again. We remained close as the years went on and then Spring of 2017 we realized there was still something worth chasing after. So we did! I became his official girlfriend in Fall of that year, and then John handed me a letter on December 16th, 2018, got down on one knee and asked me to be his best friend for forever by asking me to be his wife. This is only the beginning of the story we hope to create as our lives go on.
