We're getting married

Connor and I first met through my theater group, Full Impact Theater, in 2013. I was acting in the show, and Connor was on the tech crew. From the very first time I saw Connor backstage, I knew that we were meant to be together. I absolutely fell in love. Cassidy and I became close friends, and Cameron and Connor bonded as well. Our families did a lot together, from going to my grandparents lake in the summer to spending New Years Eve together, and continuing to participate in theater productions. After a few years, I decided to finally admit my feelings, despite him already knowing how I obviously felt. It was a tricky situation, considering he was my brothers best friend. But after he returned from his trip to Norway (during which we really got to know each other through texting), we took a walk to the nature center in my neighborhood, and he asked if I would be his girlfriend!

Connor kept the secret from me really well, acting like it was a normal day. He planned a picnic for us at the nature center, he packed my favorite foods, and when we got there I immediately knew something was up. When we finished eating our lunch on the overlook of the pond, I stood up to look at the frogs when he asked "remember when I asked you to be my girlfriend here?" I laughed and said yes, not paying attention to what was happening. He followed up with, "this is the place where I wanted to ask you to be my wife." As soon as I turned around, he was down on one knee, I saw the most beautiful ring, and immediately said yes! It was everything I could have hoped and dreamed for, and after 8 years of wishing, I will finally say "I do" to the love of my life.
