Once upon a time in a small Georgia town, a young boy and a young girl crossed paths, and an instant connection was felt. It wasn't love at first sight, but the two were quite the pair. Over the months the two spent almost every day together, and the boy began to fall for the girl. To his despair she wasn't quite sure she was ready to feel the same way. This did not stop him from feeling how he did, he decided to hang in there no matter what because he knew how strongly he felt about her. The boy knew the day would come where she had to leave. She decided to make a life changing decision to join the military. As he waited for her return he wrote letters to comfort her and let her know she was on his mind. Finally, the day came that she came home and he was eagerly waiting to see her again. When they greeted each other with a long, missed hug, the sparks began to fly. He always knew he was crazy about this girl and she finally realized she felt the same way! There were ups and downs over the years as their relationship grew. Some called it fate, others called it crazy. Not caring what everyone thought, they continued on their own journey. Along the way a strong, undying love developed. After overcoming many trials and still sticking by each other’s side, he decided he was ready for forever. Stealthily, he arranged for her friends to help him carry out his plan to propose. On the coast of San Diego, California on March 1, 2018 they stood staring at the ocean view. When the time came, he snuck behind her as she was admiring the immense beauty of the La Jolla cliffs. He knelt on one knee with his hand up holding the beautiful ring. She looked back, but didn't notice what was happening, then she quickly turned back again once it registered, completely stunned, she said YES! In a moment of perfect serenity, they embraced for the first time as an engaged couple. Eighteen months later we are here to celebrate the beautiful love between these two!
