We’re officially tying the knot!!

We met in middle school because of friends. We don’t remember much of each other then because we were not in the same friend groups. Just so happens he ended up sitting with my group at lunch, due to his table being full, and that was the first time we actually talked other than asking a question. He started sitting with me everyday after that. And eventually he asked me out.

My younger sister graduated in 2021, so we took her to the beach for a week trip, as her graduation present. We had planned to take family photos on this trip as well and asked Misty, my future mother-in-law, to take them. In exchange, mama would take her family photos. Me and Colt were told to stand on a particular spot to take a picture when I noticed a red string sticking out of the sand. When I pulled the string, I found bottle with a note in it. After I read the note out loud, I was told to turn around. When I saw him on one knee I UGLY cried!! He asked me to marry him and I said yes!!
