We said yes!

A late night conversation about how we envision our future led us to realize our goals align. Nothing else could have felt so real and natural. The best things in life happen unexpectedly. The greatest adventures are never planned. Our greatest memories were once never thought of. Our Journey was just that, unexpected, never planned or once thought of, yet is the BEST thing in our lives.

On our anniversary, all Iris wanted was to have dinner alone at our usual spot. Of course, Priscilla agrees with an ulterior motive. She picks up Iris after work and heads to her mom’s house. Iris keeps questioning, “Why are we going in the opposite direction?” When we arrive, our parents and siblings are there to greet us. Iris walks to the yard to find food and a mushy set up of pictures showcasing our short journey. After food, Priscilla stands in front, and with a super nervous and almost crying voice, expresses her feelings to Iris. She hands her a gift, a bottle of wine asking her to marry her. WIth no hesitation, Iris says yes and we all celebrate with Champagne. One proposal isn’t enough for us! The following Valentine’s Day. Iris plans a trip for the two of us. Most of our trips include a winery. So here we are at a winery and Iris is continuously complaining about how messy her purse is. Priscilla offers her help to clean the purse, but Iris insists on taking care of it on her own. At the table, we talk about rings and ring sizes and Priscilla and Iris are trying on each other’s rings. When all of a sudden, Iris pops out a new ring and pops the question leaving Priscilla completely shocked. Now we know why Iris needed to clean out her bag so much! Now here we are, both with rings on our fingers, waiting to take on the rest of our lives together.
