Mitchel and I were lucky enough to meet on a group trip to Mexico in 2018. We instantly became friends. During the Summer of 2019 we began chatting more and more. He was unlike any guy that I had ever dated before but it felt right and just made sense. Most days he was the first person I would talk to in the morning and the last before I went to sleep. Our first "real' date consisted of going to The Bloomsburg Fair with friends during the day and going to the Toby Keith concert that evening...then getting drinks.... and finishing the night off with going to Taco Bell and getting a crunch wrap supreme all over the passenger side floor of Mitch's truck (whoopsie). Looking back almost all of our dates ended up being all day long. It didn't take long for Mitchel to be the topic of every conversation with my girlfriends. A couple months later we decided it was time for Mitch to meet my daughter. Addison quickly had Mitchel wrapped around her finger despite smashing gum in the backseat of his truck (the apple doesn't fall far). Addison and I were both completely in love with Mitchel. Fast forward to our family vacation to Longboat Key, Florida in August of 2021 where my goal was to get beach pictures to hang in our home. The weather forecast showed rain for every evening except Wednesday. We woke up that morning with mimosas, played mini golf, and ended the afternoon at the beach. Mitchel, Addison, and I were swimming in the ocean when I got stung by a jellyfish. Yes, Mitchel peed on my legs multiple times while I was crying in pain (Jack Daniels and meat tenderizer helped too) ... How romantic, right? I wasn't feeling family photos on the beach but my parents and Mitchel insisted. That soon turned into one of the best days of my life when Mitchel proposed to me with my dream ring showcasing a heirloom diamond from his mom's engagement ring. He also surprised Addison with a palm tree necklace. I get to marry the love of my life and my best friend, in front of all of the people who mean the most to us. We are so ready for the next chapter of our story to begin!!
