We met in middle school but did not talk to each other much. We both played sports and we had a lot of mutual friends. He was in 7th grade and I was in 6th grade when we met. I thought he was cute with his beautiful light brown eyes but never approached him. We got back in touch when I was a senior in high school and he was a freshmen in college. We talked everyday since December 2010. Now we're here 13 years later and I can't imagine my life with out him.

My best friend set me up. For her birthday we always take a couples trip. This trip was much different from or previous couples trips. This year we went to Jacksonville Fl. That Saturday evening we went to the river walk behind our hotel to take pictures and that is when he did it. He finally proposed. I was facing the water thinking they were taking some pictures of me from behind, but when I turned around, I found Preston down on one knee looking nervous and stumbling over his words. All I can do at that moment was cry. I was embarrassed because people were watching from their balcony and screaming "awww"
