If you don’t already know the story, we’re sure you probably figured it had to do with soccer so we’ll save you some time and get to the point. Yes, it was. And appropriately enough, it was for a game between the US and Honduras in Miami. We both knew some of the same people in our soccer community, and through them, we got to meet each other doing one of our favorite things, going to US Soccer games.

Another thing you probably know about us is that we love to travel so of course, the proposal had to happen on a trip. We went to San Diego for our 7th anniversary and I thought it was the perfect time to propose. One of our best friends and my groomsman (Mark) lived out there at the time and helped me pick out a great spot overlooking the ocean…Sunset Cliffs. So I planned out a picnic on the cliffs because it’s one of Mily’s favorite things to do and after stumbling through a few almost coherent sentences, she saw what I was trying to do and said yes!
