How we met

First comes marching band, then comes marriage.

While the exact details are a bit hazy, we initially met the summer before I started high school. I was so excited to join marching band, connected with many members on FB, and Larrian happened to be one of them. Fast forward to school starting and we planned to wear matching colors. Yellow shirts... I did not see him all day until right before band practice. While everyone prepared for practice, I approached him while he got ready in the percussion section in the band room. There, we met in person for the first time and the rest is history...

The proposal

11.21.20

Larrian had a great adventure planned for us to go the mountains in the upstate. However, we could not find parking so we could walk on the trails. He was so upset things weren't working out and I was so confused because it was "just a hiking trip." We decided to go to another state park that we liked. While walking a trail, Larrian mentioned he lost his car keys. As he asked me to help him look for them on the ground, I turned around and he was on one knee and asked me to marry him. I thought he was joking and could not believe it... I said YES.
