We're finally doing this!

Bradley and Katie were in the same friend group in high school. The summer going into junior year, they spent hours talking at a friends birthday party. Once school began they continued getting to know each other during the classes they shared together. On September 22, 2013 Bradley asked Katie to be his girlfriend.

Bradley and Katie had discussed getting married many times over the course of their relationship. While the couple made a mutual decision to begin planning a wedding first, Bradley still wanted to do something special. When Brad and Katie were 17, they went on a picnic to their high school football field. Katie had purchased matching promise rings and hid Bradley's ring in a cheez-it box as a surprise. Now 8 years later, Bradley took Katie on a trip to the mountains (one of her favorite places) for a picnic. When Katie opened a box of cheez-its they brought along, a box with her engagement ring was inside.
