Curtis and I met during the summer of 2015. It was a close friend of mine who first introduced the thought of meeting Curtis up at the campground where his parents stay during the summer. After being a little reluctant to be set up on a blind date of sorts, I decided to give him a try. After driving 2 hours north to meet a guy I only saw pictures of on Facebook, I spent the entire night talking to his parents around the campfire and hardly even spoke to Curtis! Despite the lack of communication between us, deep down I knew it was the perfect match. Days later, we met up to go bowling for a more 'official' first date.

It started as a huge get together at the same campground where we first met 2 years prior. We were gathering for a Fourth of July cookout with friends and family. Little did I know that Curtis was planning the most special surprise I could ask for! Anyone who can think back to this past fourth of July weekend, you will remember the terrible storms that came through. Thunder, lightning and rain ruined the surprise Curtis had been planning for months, but luckily he can think on the spot. He quickly changed plans and decided to pop the question through an impromptu game of "Telephone" with a huge group of friends and family. It was the last thing I had expected to happen and in that moment I was beyond happy. We were surrounded by those who love us and who we love dearly. He got down on one knee and I was speechless!!!
