We’re Getting Married!

Our story began when Graeson messaged me a corny pick up line. As some millennials would say, “he slid into my DMs”. In the truest form of love and adoration after the initial shock of the relationship, we were bickering, nagging, and annoying each other. Prior to the relationship starting, both of us were skeptical of the conventional thought process of, “When you know, you know”. We were dubious and weary. However upon conversing with each other at length, we both acknowledged and slowly accepted that there was something to that conventional knowledge.

From Graeson’s Perspective: I went to pick up the ring because I wanted it to be a surprise. Because I knew later that day, I wanted to spring the proposal on her. I waited a little bit after spending some time with Kaitlin while we were watching the dog. We were in the living room watching TV, I went into the car to grab a forgotten card from a holiday party. I walked back into the house to the living room with the ring in my pocket. I told her that I had something to tell her and that I had been dishonest. Earlier that day, I had lied to her and told her that the ring was not ready and needed more time at the jeweler. At that point I pulled the ring out of my pocket, and I got the reaction I sought. From Kaitlin’s Perspective: I had known that Grae was going to pick up the engagement that day while I was at work. He texted me that it wasn’t going to be ready and needed an extra day. My parents were going to a Warriors game that night, so we were going to watch the puppy. Graeson had put on Law Abiding Citizen for us to watch while he went to the car to grab a card. While Gerard Butler begins to stab his cellmate, Graeson proceeds to tell me he hadn’t been honest with me. I instantly knew that he had actually gotten the ring. In the middle of the living room, during a violent murder scene, Graeson brought out the ring and proposed. And it was all captured on the doggy camera.
