We met online and from the first message he made me laugh. He asked me out to a lovely dinner at Underbelly and we have been inseparable ever since. Right before our second date, we realized that we had literally grown up across the street from each other in the same neighborhood, and had attended the same elementary, middle, and high schools, just different years. Funny how life works sometimes.
We went on a trip to North Carolina to visit Nick's grandparents. He told me his grandma wanted to get some professional family photos done in front of the waterfall on their golf course. At first I was suspicious, but his grandparents played the part so well I figured it was true. We kept laughing so hard when the photographer asked us to pose, I was afraid we were ruining the pictures his grandparents were paying for. Finally, he told us to stand on a flat rock in front of the waterfall. Nick gave me his hand and helped me onto the rock, I turn around to face him and he's down on one knee. He's lucky I didn't fall backwards into the water! Of course I said YES!
