We're Getting Married!

We met at Madtree during a spring Saturday March Madness day-drinking extravaganza. We were introduced and didn't think much of it. I mean, he introduced himself to me as, "Cheese".. Not off to a great start. Little did we know, our friends had other plans for us. They secretly conspired behind our backs and convinced us both to go to another bar where they handed us a credit card and forced us to go up to the bar and get drinks together. We started talking up at the bar and 2 hours later (still up at the bar - sorry friends who wanted drinks!) it just clicked. We were laughing, we were flirting, and once we cooed over our shared love of traveling the world, that's pretty much when we thought, "okay, this could be something."

We'd planned to go to our friends house (shout out Jake + Britt) to have brunch and watch football but before we left for the day to do that, we did what we do every Saturday morning we are able, take Murphy to the dog park not far from our house. Once we got there, he asked me to throw a tennis ball to Murphy and without thinking, or looking, I just kind of chucked it. When I turned around he was on one knee and I was laughing, thinking, "At the dog park? Surely, this is a joke." The joke turned out to be on me when I later found out the words, "Marry Me?" were written on the tennis ball I carelessly threw to the other side of the dog park. Nothing went according to his plan and it wasn't perfect like he'd hoped but it is ours and it is perfect to us. We cannot wait to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in November!
