We met at work 8 years ago. Bryan sat in on a class I was teaching. I couldn't help but blush and smile while watching him sit, bored out of his mind in my class. I told my coworker at the time that I was going to marry him, without even really knowing him. Little did I know, 3 years after meeting, our love would flourish into something beautiful.

On July 4th, After a long hike, we returned to Bryan's parent's house for a cook out. We were all sitting outside relaxing by the pool, when Bryan said he was going to put on some music. About 5 minutes later, "Beautiful Crazy" starts playing through the speakers. I turn to see Bryan walking towards me with roses in his hand. He bent down on one knee and asked me to marry him.
