Let's Get Married!

We met when I transferred to a new high school my Junior year. We had a lot of mutual friends, and by the end of the school year we were inseparable best friends! We started dating by the beginning of Senior year, and the rest is history!

He took me completely by surprise. I knew the proposal was coming soon, but I thought he was going to wait until a whole month later! On one of the last days of our vacation with the Parks family, we woke up at 5:30am to watch the sunrise on the beach (something we had talked about doing for years). His sisters and brother-in-law tagged along with us to take pictures on the beach "just for fun." As the sun rose over the horizon, we danced on the beach until he got down on one knee and popped the question! I began crying immediately and barely let him get the words out before I hugged him. On our way back to the house, I was sad my parents weren't there to celebrate, and I was texting my mom the news. But when we got back to the house I discovered my parents, who had flown in the night before, were there in the kitchen! It truly was a sweet, magical, and memorable day that we will always hold with us!
