We met in fall of 2019, in a valet line at The Sheldon. Kevin's cousin introduced us at the end of the evening. Quickly after the introductions, we went on our first date, and afterwards were inseparable. At the end of June 2022, we decided to go to Mexico for a vacation and to celebrate my birthday. I did not know that during this vacation we would be celebrating my birthday and an engagement. On June 30th, after a romantic dinner, Kevin asked me to go for a walk on the beach. As we were looking up at the vast sky, with the ocean calmly dancing at our feet, Kevin dropped to one knee and proposed. It was fitting that the proposal happened in Mexico, as we travel to the area frequently. We enjoyed the last few days of vacation as an engaged couple, announcing our engagement to only close friends and family.
