We can't wait to finally celebrate with you!

We met in high school marching band, and started out being just friends. Eventually, we started talking more and realized we liked each other a lot! On June 24, 2012, Justin asked me to be his girlfriend. We've been inseparable since! We went away to college at the University of Illinois together, marched in the Marching Illini, and graduated in 2018. We went to Disney World that summer to celebrate our graduation, or so I thought! Justin had planned the proposal with my Maid of Honor Emma, and had bought the ring long before we left for the trip. He even managed to take a trip home from Champaign without me so he could ask both my dads for their blessings! Fast forward to the second day of our trip. We were meeting Emma in front of the castle to take pictures. Emma had arranged one of the cast members to be there to take our pictures. She ushered me and Justin to go first, so we started posing. Emma came up to "fix my hair" and when I turned around, Justin was down on one knee! I was so surprised and so happy. Of course, I said yes! The rest of the trip was a wonderful celebration of our engagement. Now, we cannot wait to celebrate our marriage with you!
