We met at a mutual friends party and stayed up all night talking. I knew we had something special but he thought I was just being nice. The next day he invited me to a bonfire and we have been inseparable ever since. But I guess you could say we officially met at my high school graduation party where I kicked him out because I had no idea who he was. Luckily the universe brought us back together at the right time and we now get to spend the rest of our lives together!

Fast forward 5 years on a family vacation in Anna Maria Island. We were getting ready to go to dinner and the family wanted pictures of us on the beach at sunset. After the pictures were taken, I started walking back to the house and realized he was not following behind. I turned around to ask him what the heck he was doing (at this point I am hangry) and he was on one knee holding the most beautiful ring I had ever seen and asked me to be his wife. Of course I said YES! We finished the night by indulging in our favorite food - crab legs.
