Throughout history, great stories have started with the phrase "someone walked into a bar." Well our story isn't much different. On the night I met Jason, I had just walked into the Steyne Hotel with a new friend as I had done most weekends over the few weeks since I arrived in Manly, Australia. However, this night was uniquely busy and all of the tables were full. My friend happened to notice a guy she knew briefly from her gym and took the opportunity to share a table with his group of friends. This guy was Paul- Jason's Best Man. A few months and a hand full of run ins later, he asked me out on our first date. The rest is history!
A few weeks after our three year anniversary, we decided to take a trip to Bali. We spent a week taking in the Balinese culture and visiting the forests and rice fields before we headed to Gili T- the largest of three small islands off the coast. A place without cars- where you can ride your bike around the entire island in an hour and a half- and all of the crystal blue waters, snorkeling and sandy beaches you could ask for. A few days in, after an afternoon drinking by the pool, we went to the beach hoping to get some nice sunset photos before dinner. I was so busy fiddling with the camera, I barely noticed the other people filming me. Jason got down on one knee and mumbled some words he barely remembers because he was so nervous- I cried, laughed, said YES and we were engaged! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you.
