Surprise family and friends! We are eloping to Asheville, North Carolina on Saturday April 27, 2019 where we will say "I do" surrounded by our closest loved ones on top of a mountain at sunset. Oh, and to no surprise, Finn will be our ring bearer. Since we decided to have a small ceremony, we are having a reception to celebrate with everyone on Saturday May 4, 2019 at 5:00pm at Henry Breeding Farm in Edinburgh, Indiana.

7 days into a 12 day vacation exploring Jasper National Park and Banff National Park, Jeff got down on one knee and asked me to spend forever with him. The morning of the proposal was spent walking around the beautiful Lake Moraine. We then had a romantic pb&j lunch in the Jeep before canoeing for an hour on the lake. Although it was a cold and cloudy day with intermittent rain sprinkles, we were both taken back by the beauty of the alpine trees, mountain peaks, glacier peaks, and the clearest blue water we had ever seen surrounding us. Later that evening while back at our cabin, we decided to walk to the upper falls which was on-site at the canyon we were staying at. It was a 1.5 mile walk along the canyon. When we got to the end of the trail, standing in front of the waterfall, Jeff suggested we hang our go-pro in the tree to take funny poses in front of the falls. Well me being me, I turned his idea down saying it'd fall and that's a silly idea. Later I learned he was trying to propose in that moment. We then walked back towards the cabin where we stopped at the lower water fall. There was a little walking path inside the rock which stood along the waterfall. We had been there before earlier in the week but Jeff insisted we checked it out again because he wanted to use the go-pro to record it. Only 4 or so people could go back there at a time and people kept coming in and out and I was ready to just go back to the cabin since we had already seen in. But Jeff insisted to just hold on. He told me to give him 5-10 seconds before I followed behind him ,and when I walked in, he was on one knee holding the ring. No words were said for a solid ten seconds cause I was crying and that made him even more nervous! Absolutely the best day of my life so far 💜
