We met while we were in high school, separate high schools but, through mutual friends, we’ve been inseparable ever since, weve tried haha! 7 years in, I (Alaina) was waiting what seemed like forever for him (Zachery) to propose, I was starting to annoy him about, if he was ever going to propose to me. While we were on vacation with my family, who mean more than the world to me, in Florida at the most beautiful beach I have ever seen, he decided he was going to propose, but I didn’t know that. In 4th of July at sunset when the first fireworks over the beach were set. The whole day I felt horrible, I was sick and had a fever, but he did everything possible to make me feel better he took me out to get cookie dough, and bought me t shirts (to add to my t shirt addiction), he let me nap, and my dad was cooking my favorite meal. We sat and watched my nieces and nephews play, watched the waves crash, and sat by the pool. Around sunset he asked me if I wanted to walk the beach since we did every night we were there. So we did, he took his portable speaker and played my favorite pandora station (country love songs) while we were walking, I felt so bad because I was breaking my fever and griping about me sweating. Completely oblivious to the fact he was still going to propose later. We started to head back to our condos beach gate right as the sun was setting and the first fireworks were going off, it was so cute and goofy which I love he had me walk forward of him, which I did already all the time then he called me back, he said, what I think is so cute the way he propose, pointing in the sand he says “babe, look at this” so I come over to look but he’s on his knee with the ring he let me help pick out a month earlier. My family was hiding and my sister in law videoed it, you can hear my mom yelling WOO! In the back ground and my whole family clapping! Obviously, in tears, I said yes!
