Welcome to our forever!

We met as teenagers, hanging out with friends. We can't remember the first day we actually met because we were so young, and it was so long ago. We were having fun and causing lots of trouble. Little did we know where our paths would take us.

Joe was beyond excited for the 4th. The night before, he told me, "I can't wait for tomorrow!" and I thought it was because we were finally able to spend a day with both of our families after Covid locked us down. A few hours after the party started, Joe grabbed my hand and said "come here with me for a second" and as we were walking, I noticed everyone gathering behind us. My heart started racing and I thought to myself, "is he going to propose?!". He said a few words, took out the ring and got down on one knee. It felt like the world stopped for a minute. After saying yes and "are you serious?!" a ton of times, we grabbed each other, and everyone started cheering. It was such a beautiful, perfect, once in a lifetime moment.
