Sealing the deal!♡

We met through a group of mutual friends, and in the beginning neither one of us would have even imagined asking the other out. In December of 2016 he did the impossible and asked me on a date. But that's not the best part, the date was going so well that Lu made a bet with me. He said "If I can skip this flower petal over the water, you go on a second date with me. If it doesn't skip...well lets just hope it does". And guess what? The flower petal skipped across the water and became a crowning moment in our relationship. But to be honest, even if it didn't skip I definitely would have agreed to a second date. We made it "official" on Jan 1, 2017 and it's been an adventure ever since. Yes, our adventures have had ups and downs, but we've made it through and will continue to do so. ♡

We've been engaged for about 2 and a half years now and there have definitely been trials and tribulations. Both of us have had our own battles individually, but something that really helped us was conquering them together as one. Basically everyone would question "Why such the long engagement?". One, it was a decision made by the two of us. And two, we weren't ready to make that next step called marriage just yet. Having a long engagement has helped the two of us REALLY get to know each other, learn of each others patterns, and strengthen our bond as a couple. Everyone is different and has their own opinions, but as for us, we feel the blessings that came about from a long engagement.
