Destani and Andrew met at church as young teenagers. She was good friends with his cousins, so she was always around. They started off as friends, playing Uno and cracking jokes on each other all the time. After awhile, their friendship grew into a crush. As they got older, life got in the way. He went away to college in Georgia, and she stayed in California and finished up high school. They continued to stay in touch in hopes that their paths would cross again. After a few years in college, he moved back. They began their relationship together...8 years later, these two love birds are finally ready to take the next step and they can't wait to celebrate this day with family and friends.
So...they went away to La Quinta for a couple's trip one weekend in July. They were looking at how beautiful the house was and running around checking out all the rooms. When she was distracted and turned her back, he dropped to one knee. She turned around and was in complete shock. She kept asking "Is this real?". He was so nervous, he didn't say anything but, "my leg is getting tired now". She said "FINALLY!" and the weekend turned into an engagement celebration.
