We're Getting Married!

It was a beautiful, sunny day on the Quad on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he and his friends were practicing Yo-Yo. A group of girls walked up to them and asked them a few questions, and although he didn't talk to her (because he was too shy at the time!), he did notice that she was the most beautiful and charming one out of all of them. He kept that image of that beautiful girl in the back of his mind and muttered under his breath "Welp, maybe one day". A year and a few months later, they re-connected and discovered that they would be attending the same concert in Chicago, so they met up and hung out at the concert together. A few days and a couple dinners together later, they went on a full day date going paddle boarding on Lake Shore, getting Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, and finally, going to Navy Pier where he actually came up with the courage to ask her out! She said yes and the rest is history ♥

They went to the big water fountain at Navy Pier, where he asked her to be his girlfriend over 2 years ago. He told her they were there to help their friends take some pictures, and when they got to the fountain, he stood still and told her how the past 2 years he spent with her was the best 2 years of his life and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her... They both started crying and as he got down on one knee and asked the question, she said "YES"!
