I remember in the summer of 2017 when I was introduced to this cute Australian guy through some mutual friends at a pool party. Of course, the accent was nice, but I was too busy laughing and smiling at everything that came out of Peter's mouth to think about it too much. We became immediate friends and every time we hung out it was impossible not to have a good time due to his infectious and effortlessly cool personality. Whether he was playing around *like modern day Mozart* on a keyboard, telling stories, asking about my life, befriending every member of my family- it didn't matter where we were or what we were doing, we were always happy together. By early 2018, Peter was regularly taking me out on dates and even attending high school girls basketball games with me (real big fan). My new best friend became my official boyfriend in April of 2018, and every single day since then Peter has made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. There was never any doubt in my mind that I had found my person, and someone who truly is my better half. I cannot wait to embark on this new journey as husband and wife!

The first time Courtney and I met, I immediately thought she was completely out of my league. I had recently moved to Southern California and was brought along to a BBQ at Thomas’ college roommate David Searson’s house. Courtney had the biggest smile, the loudest laugh and the most care free attitude, drawing me immediately towards her. The second time I saw Courtney, I didn’t realise that I was going to her actual birthday party, bringing a gift for the wrong person! Thankfully, she was kind enough to look past that. From there, we started speaking more often and learning more about each other. I didn’t understand how I was so lucky to spend time alone with such a beautiful soul. Our relationship continued to progress, leading to bringing Courtney out to Australia to meet my entire family within a year of us being together. The reason being that from the moment that we started dating, I knew. I knew that I had met my soul mate, my best friend, and the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Loving you is so easy my dear and I cannot wait to call you my wife.
