Our story

Birthday, balance beam, and a waterfall

We first met on John's birthday when he came down to help following hurricane Matthew. A month or two later Janae decided to build a balance beam and her roommate suggested contacting John as he is a woodworker and could give her ideas on how to put it together. Following the initial request and sketched reply, we stayed in touch. Almost a year and a half later we went to a waterfall in Haiti. John jumped from the top of the falls, had his proposal delayed and almost canceled when fish bit our toes and had Janae ready to swim back, but he convinced her to climb on the rock ledge by the waterfall and asked her to marry him. A ring was made in a gift shop near the falls before we left and another was purchased after we were both stateside again.
