We're Getting Married!

We were both nurses working in the same Emergency Department. At the end of one of my shifts, I was on my way out when Chris asked me for help boosting a patient up in bed (very romantic). Chris eventually took the initiative and asked me out, we went on our first date to Misquamicut beach on my great-grandmother's 91st birthday which makes the day even more special (Chris wanted to take me to the 99 for gold fever wings but I insisted on taking advantage of the beautiful day and going to the beach instead), and the rest was history.

Our 1 year anniversary was coming up and we wanted to plan an awesome trip so we drove up to Bar Harbor to get away for a few days. Chris had a plan to propose on a whale watch (thank god he didn't, so much could go wrong lol), but tickets were sold out. He instead decided to propose at the top of Cadillac Mountain after our hike. We took pics, had a snack, and walked around, and then I was getting very hungry and knew we had the entire hike back down before we could eat a meal, but Chris asked if we could hang around up there for a little bit longer. I was getting seriously hangry but let him bring me over to a more private area where we sat down. Chris popped the question and I just started laughing like an idiot because it really was so unexpected. I finally realized he was just staring at me looking so nervous that I shouted/screamed "YES!" and we were engaged! To this day I joke that Chris made me hike several miles and really work for the ring, but it was worth it and I would do it a million times over again for those memories.
