It all began with a fender bender in our college parking lot that led to James being late on the first day of school, forcing him to sit in the only open seat... the one next to me. Like a scene straight out of a rom com. Over the next few months an in-class friendship developed and after a few Starbucks lattes and some fixed wind shield wipers, we were inseparable. We always knew we’d get married, but at 19 and 20 years old, we also knew it would be a long time before that day would come. After the 3 years of dating we knew it was time and James planned a perfect proposal while on a trip to Ibiza. He rented a cliff, spent months planning with an engagement planner in Spain, hired a secret photographer, and picked out my dream ring. Even though I tried to snoop around and spoil my own surprise, James hid everything from me so perfectly that I was shocked when he brought me to that cliff at sunset. We set the date for nearly 2 years later and have been enjoying every moment of engaged life since. After 5 1/2 years of new jobs, new apartments, 2 cats, visiting 5 different countries together, and plenty of love and laughter, we’re so excited to finally tie the knot!
