We met at a fourth of July back yard BBQ through a mutual friend. We flirted big time while playing board games and watching fireworks. “She had a terrible poker face.” “And he stole my sunglasses!” But then the night was over and we both went back to our separate lives. He traveled the world and I finished senior year. Fate brought us back together a year later at a graduation party through that same mutual friend. And it just clicked. I spotted him first and “accidentally” bumped into him. He, Purposely, stole my cucumbers! That’s pretty much when we thought, “Okay. This could be something. ”

She used to always joke that if I didn't propose soon shed propose to me. There was never any doubt that we'd get married, and I bought the ring in full confidence that I'd be giving it to her. My family planned a trip to Disney in the spring of 2020, and it was my mom's idea to propose in front of Cinderella's castle. It almost didn't happen, as Disney was planning to close the parks the day after our arrival, but we went anyway, spent one day in Magic Kingdom, and that's all the time we really needed.
