Ethan and I met in high school, we had mutual friends and ended up in the same class together. He was shy and I had... still do... have a starring problem. I couldn't help but look back at him because he was new and handsome. It made him shyer but as the semester moved on I tried my best to get closer to him. We ended up getting each other's phone numbers and started texting none stop. After being friends for 1 year we fell for each other and I ended up asking him "so are you going to ask me out soon?" December 21st, 2012 has been a special day for us ever since!

Marriage has always been a goal of ours, and we can not wait for this dream to come true. We have had many discussions about marriage and it all started as he had me pick out ring styles, and ask my ideal proposal. After asking my dad for permission and my dad saying "no need to ask, please take her" he had the amazing help of my family in planning our proposal at my older sister's, Kayla's wedding. As the photographer was taking many photos of us I looked up at Ethan and said "perfect day to ask me!?" And he replied teasingly "it's not your day, Bubba!". The night moves forward and the flower toss came along. I got in line ready to fight the other ladies for the bouquet and my sister starts walking towards me... I couldn't believe it. I looked at Ethan walking over to me and remember smiling as big as a could saying "no way!" He teared up saying "life gives us so many hard choices every day, but this choice is easy for me, will you marry me?". I squealed so many times and said "yessss!!" We got engaged on September 26th, 2020
