How We Met

Halloween 2011

We like to tell people we met in a parking lot, and in a way that is true. Our mutual friends liked to hang out at car meets and they are held in, you guessed it, parking lots! We have been inseparable since Halloween 2011.

The Proposal

05.26.2018

Chris had this elaborate plan of a Memorial Weekend BBQ where all of our friends and family would attend. I just wanted to hang out and relax. The entire evening flew over my head. Luckily, Emily and Jordan, the BM and MOH, showed up early to make sure I was ready. After Emily turned me into a glam queen, I was sitting on the couch when Chris finally got up the nerve to ask and he asked for me to get up. I told him no because I thought he was trying to steal my seat on the couch. He grabbed me up and we pretty much wrestled to the ground. When he finally let me go I turned around and saw him down on one knee. Chris asked "will you marry me?" And like the smartass I am, I grabbed the ring and told him "No.." with a smile. As I sat there staring at the gorgeous rock on my finger, I looked down at him and said "Get up stupid, of course I will marry you!" The happiest day of our lives thus far!
