We met at Mesa Community College in Guitar class. We were both music majors and ended up having other music classes together over the next few semesters. Over the year and a half we became friends. In 2016 we no longer were friends, but had fallen in love.
In August we finally made our plans to go to California for the first time. We went to the ocean together and Disneyland. On the last day of our trip during the firework finale in front of Cinderella's castle Dakota lowered his light saber and dropped to one knee.
