We had been hanging out for a few months before I asked Kaylynn to be my girlfriend. She was best friends with my brother, so I guess I owe him one for introducing me! Over the Summer, we were on vacation with my family and I took Kaylynn for a walk on the beach. When we got to a good spot, I wrote "Will you be my girlfriend?" in the sand, and luckily she said yes! - Eli

I thought I was going to my older brother's house for dinner with my family. When we got there, Eli was waiting outside, and he asked if we could talk. He led me to the spot that he already had decorated, and asked me to marry him. Both of our families were there and watching from a distance, and all started cheering when I said "YES!" through my happy tears! - Kaylynn
