Jared and I met at a trivia night when a mutual friend brought Jared along (thanks Marty!). At the end of the night Jared slid me a note with his phone number on it and a little stick figure man labeled 'Jared.' I texted him the next day and we went on our first official date two days later, though I'm not sure you can call it a date because my friends Charlotte and Alex showed up to vet Jared (or warn Jared?). We were pretty much inseparable from that day on.
On a Thursday night after work Jared took me out to Sullivans Island with the story that we were grabbing dinner. He suggested we take a walk on the beach beforehand, and I'd had a rough week at work so I thought he was just trying to cheer me up. It was just the two of us and so perfect. After the proposal he told me we actually had reservations at a rooftop restaurant we had gone to before for date nights. We got there and there was a group of friends there waiting for us to celebrate!
