Lucas & I met while he was on his second deployment to Cuba in February of 2019. Yes, what you're thinking is right.... he slid in my DMs on Instagram and we've been inseparable ever since. JUST KIDDING! I actually stopped talking to him 3 times, but I finally figured it out & I guess you can say that we've been inseparable since. In October 2019, Lucas came home from his deployment & we started to remodel our home. As if the process of remodeling our home wasn't stressful enough, we were finally able to move in together in March 2020, at the start of the pandemic. That didn't stop us from living our lives & we decided to get a puppy. I surprised Lucas with Hank in May for his birthday & it turns out that Hank is truly daddy's boy. Throughout 2020 & 2021, we went through loss on both sides of our families & it hit us hard. We spent as much time together as we could, making memories with each other and our fur-babies because life can change on a dime. On September 19th 2021, Lucas pulled off a surprise proposal at my grandparent's house in Hooper's Island. He told me that from the first time he went down there with me, he knew that was where he was going to propose, which made it even more memorable. Ever since then we've been planning for our wedding, in hopes to not only show our love for each other but to keep it simple, intimate, and fun.
