How We Met

07.14.14

It was the beginning of Summer 2014. We were young and carefree hanging out with our friends! We had no idea who each other were until our friends finally introduced us. We did not think much about it. We went on about our day, our summer and even the rest of our year.

Our First Date

03.01.15

After meeting the Summer before and random times of seeing each other Stephen got the courage to ask me on a date. I said "no." He asked multiple times and I finally agreed to go to the movies with him. Not long after I knew I met my soul mate. We clicked perfectly as if we had known each other our whole life.

The Proposal

07.04.18

It was Fourth of July, we were doing house repairs and I was elbow deep in homework. It was right after lunch and he said to get ready our friends were picking us up on the boat. Once again, I said "no." I was tired and just wanted to watch the fireworks from downtown, but as always he convinced me to get ready. To my surprise they wanted to go up the lighthouse at Cape Lookout, I was so EXCITED! (I had never been to the top) Well, we were late and they were closed. So we decided a picture in front of the lighthouse would be enough. Little to my knowledge he was holding the ring the whole time! As I turned to walk away he grabbed my attention and asked me to marry him and spend the rest of our lives together! I was so in shock I could barely say YES!
