We decided on forever...

We met at a the MTSU vs: Vanderbilt football game in the fall of 2016. A mutual friend and her family were having a tailgate before the game. And from our first conversation, something was different. Even after the tailgate we stayed in each other's company. The next couple of days were filled with excuses to be around each other and we took off from there. It wasn't long before we knew we loved each other. And need I say, our first kiss said it all. From that point on our love story got better.

We had just gotten back to his house from a dinner date/ meetup in Jackson. I was in my pj's and he went out to his car to grab "something". When he came back in, he was carrying the box that the ring came in, and took it out of the box. He put it on my finger the first time without the wedding band, then the second with. I assumed that this meant he was making sure it was the right size. I knew he had the ring and had helped pick it out, so that part didn't set off any alarms in my head. Well then he put the engagement portion of the ring on my finger for the third time, I looked at it, and then started to give it back. He took me into his parents living room that was decorated for the holidays and got on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said "absolutely" and then my legs passed out. He sat with me on the couch while I tried to let it sink in that I just got engaged!
