We met at our mutual friends' wedding in August of 2017. I was the Maid of Honor and John was the stand-in Best Man. I caught the bouquet and the rest is history. We dated long distance while I was living in Atlanta and John was finishing grad school in Illinois. After John graduated, we moved together to Miami in 2018.

We were on a trip with my family in Breckenridge, CO. A group of our close friends had planned to go at the same time (total coincidence). It was our first day on the slopes and it was absolutely freezing, so we ended the day early (which was already part of the plan). At the bottom of the run, John dropped down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Both of our families and friends were watching nearby and cheered when I said yes!
