We are getting married!

Alton was a sophomore at the University of Minnesota and I was a little freshman. Alton decided to join a fraternity that year and part of his initiation week was a crazy scavenger hunt/tasks to complete. It was about 1am on a Tuesday night and me and my freshman roommate, Gillian, were in our dorm room. We were both in our pajamas already when we heard pounding on our door. I peak through the peep hole and am shocked to see two college boys. I turned to Gillian and told her the situation we were in and she told me not to open the door. After a good couple minutes of freaking out about the random, strange men at our door and them continually pounding on the door, I finally opened the door. Alton and another guy were standing there holding Insomnia cookies. Turns out they had to bring cookies to "Marshall's sister". Little did I know, the random boy at my door that night would one day become my husband. Alton had to have photo evidence, so we took a picture together "popping the Gamma" which is the sign of my sorority Delta Gamma. You can see us as babies in that first pic in the gallery. We saw each other throughout the year a lot, but finally started dating at the end of April. The rest is history...

Alton took me on a date where we went to a Christmas market followed by driving around looking at Christmas lights. Christmas is my favorite time of the year! Once we got home, he put on our song and grabbed me to dance in the kitchen. Then he got down on one knee, said sweet words I don't remember, and asked me to marry him. We drank champagne and celebrated at P.S. Steak! It was the most perfect day.
