We're Getting Married!

Our annual lava camping trip had always been a highlight of the year, but this time it felt like everything that could go wrong did. The car broke down on the way and by the time we got to camp, we had fought with the tent for hours—only for it to collapse in a heap, making me question if this trip was destined to be a disaster. After a somewhat chaotic first night, we tried to shake off the stress with some fishing at a nearby pond. The boys decided to head back to camp, and the chatter about taking cute pictures to document our trip began. I initially resisted, saying I wasn’t feeling up for it. “We come here every year,” I thought, dismissing the idea as unnecessary. But after some convincing, I reluctantly agreed. As I stood on the bridge over the pond, the world around us was breathtakingly beautiful—the sun casting perfectly through the clouds. It felt like a moment of tranquility amidst the chaos. Then Cameron turned to me, his expression shifting. “You know I love you very much,” he said, his voice slightly trembling. In that instant, I felt a sudden rush of anticipation. I jokingly shot back, “Don’t be dumb,” thinking he was trying to joke with me. But before I could process it, there he was, down on one knee, holding out a ring that sparkled in the sunlight. My heart raced as I struggled to believe what was actually happening. “No!” I gasped, a mix of disbelief and excitement coursing through me. After a few more shocked moments, the only thing I could manage was a breathless “YES!” We embraced tightly, laughter and happy tears mingling as the world around us faded away. What had started as a trip full of mishaps turned into a beautiful memory that would forever mark the beginning of our next chapter. We cant wait to celebrate our love story with everyone we cherish!
