We did a beach getaway with our good friends to Delaware the first weekend of June in 2019. Many drinks and laughs were had during the weekend, which led to our last day as a lazy day hanging out by the pool. The house we stayed at was located on a creek, so we had access to the dock. While hanging around the pool, Noah asked me if I wanted to go down to the water. We walked down and checked on the crab cages, while on the *weathered* wooden dock Noah got down on one knee! My face was of excitement and shock, his was showing a little bit of pain. I quickly said "YES!" and put the ring on my finger. While I was staring at my new shiny accessory, Noah was pulling out a HUGE splinter from his foot! A little blood, a new ring, and some laughs all led to the perfect proposal.

We met in the summer of 2015. My best friend, Emma, was dating Noah's Uncle Michael. Noah and Michael are closer in age and grew up more as siblings, so naturally all of us hung out a few times. Fast forward to Michael and Emma's bachelorette/bachelor party bus in early July 2017, Noah's family convinced me that I should talk to Noah when he comes home for the wedding. Noah was stationed in Guam in the Air Force, so he was unable to attend the party bus, but his family were his ultimate wingmen and had me thinking. Then two weeks later, Michael and Emma got married, Noah asked me to dance and the rest was history! We were both a little nervous to start something when he was going back to Guam, but thank God for FaceTime because we made it work! We both said it was the best thing for us because we really had to communicate and make each other a priority everyday, which quickly grew to love! So yes, my best friend will become my aunt.

We want to reach out to our families and friends who helped make this day happen... Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we love and appreciate you! Your love, enthusiasm, and hard work you put into this wedding makes us even more excited for our big day! WE LOVE YOU!!
