Although we had gone to school together since we were in kindergarten, we were not in the same friends group nor did we ever really speak. It wasn't until December of 2014 that we hung out for the first time. We met up at a party in Slippery Rock where I was attending college. The next weekend we went on our first date to a Steelers game and the rest is history.
While on vacation in Florida, we went to a beachfront restaurant for a seafood dinner. When we were finished, the sun was setting so we walked out to the beach to get some pictures. While "posing" for the picture, I looked over and he was down on one knee. I first said "NO" as I was thinking this had to be a cruel joke as there was no way he could pull this off without me knowing. Sure enough he did and that quickly turned into a "YES" and we were engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Florida!
