A Message From The Groom, It was the end of a great weekend family trip to Virginia as I was consumed with anxiety over what I had wanted to do for so long. I had known I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Kortney well before this day. There had been plenty of opportunities for me to ask for her to marry me but none of them felt complete. As I walked around the house all day with a ring in my pocket trying to create a perfect moment, I eventually became worn out wondering if there would be a right moment. As I walked down to the dock where Kortney and Aiden were playing he grabbed a bright pink flower and out of nowhere, with no coaxing by me, said to her, “you can wear this when you get married”. It clicked with me that this was the perfect moment, with Kortneys hand in mine and Aiden by my side I asked her to marry me. And it was perfect.
