We first met at Muhlenberg College in the fall of 2010, where we were both student-athletes. Tim's roommates were on the men's basketball team, so our friend groups would often hang out together. Our first date was at Bonefish Grill in the Winter of 2010. Our relationship started as a friendship and took time to grow, which is perhaps why it has been so sweet.
Tim planned the proposal to be surrounded by our closest college friends on the beaches of New Jersey. The girls and guys had split up during the day, but planned to meet up for dinner. When I saw Tim at the top of the boardwalk by himself, I had a feeling something was up. He then asked me to go for a walk, and led me to a heart in the sand of sunflowers and popped the question. I said "of course!", and heard cheers from all of our friends in the background. It was the perfect beach proposal surrounded by people we love!
