Our love story is certainly not your typical fairytale, "love at first sight" kind of story. We've known each other for nearly a decade, and we've gone from being friends, to enemies, and finally (thankfully!) to a happy and wonderful relationship. We met back in high school, when Jonathan was a freshman and I was a sophomore. He joined band, and we both played saxophone. Over time, we became really good friends! Little did I know, the friendship we had was blooming into something more. I, being the oblivious person that I am, had absolutely no idea that Jonathan was interested in me. Until that one fateful Valentine's Day, he brought a dozen white roses and put them in my band locker for me to find that morning. It was easily the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for me, but I took it as more of a friendly gesture. A year or so later, some now-insignificant argument occurred and we suddenly weren't friends anymore. In fact, we didn't speak to each other at all. We would hardly manage to be in the same room together, much less have a decent conversation. Thankfully, this stage didn't last very long. Before we knew it, we were chatting and hanging out like we were friends again. Then, it started becoming something more (again), but this time, the feeling was mutual! We officially began dating in May of 2013, and have stayed together ever since. We've gone through high school, college, and "adulting" together, and we're so excited to experience all the other stages of life by each others' side! Not many people get to say that they met their soulmate in high school, but I can gladly say that I did, and now, over six years later, I'm about to marry him!

Jonathan had been planning the proposal with the help of Lyndsey (my college roommate and maid of honor). On the night of December 2nd, 2018, I would be attending Christmas at the Cumberlands, a concert put on by the UC music department. As far as I knew, Jonathan was at work that night, as he typically would've been on any given weekend. Little did I know, he was there, scouting around UC's campus for the perfect proposal location. After the concert, Lyndsey and some friends tossed around the idea of taking pictures outside by the fountain, which was a pretty common thing for them. While I was posing for some solo candids, Jonathan was making his way to me. I has absolutely no idea, and when I turned around and saw him on one knee, the first words out of my mouth were "What are you doing?!" (He still makes fun of me for it to this day.) I'm so glad that we got to share this special moment in the company of some of our dearest friends. It was a perfect night, and I couldn't have been any happier!
