When we first started college, Jonathan and I were Chemistry lab partners. We studied and got sushi together, but we didn't really start hanging out until a few semesters later. We became better friends and eventually, we started getting tea each week on college night at Piper and Leaf. After being friends for a long time, Jonathan asked me on a date to Beignet Cafe and I said yes :)

Preparing for the night of the proposal was so much fun. l had friends help me create fake plans to keep Anna from getting suspicious and scouted out the perfect spot for the proposal. That afternoon a good friend and I strung up lights through the trees at a nearby park and made sure everything was ready. On the way to pick up Anna I couldn't stop smiling and thought I would give away the surprise, but once I picked up Anna we were quickly laughing and having a good time as we made our way back to the park. Once she saw the lights she knew what was about to happen, all I had to do was get down on one knee and pop the question.
