We met through mutual friends in high school and lost touch for a couple of years. In the summer of 2012, after unknowingly being baptized on the same weekend, we reconnected and a true friendship began. Through going to church, sushi dinners, movie nights, and long talks, we became best friends.
Brandon always takes me on amazing vacations for my birthday, so when he planned a trip to New York City I thought nothing of it. We flew in on my birthday so he said we would have my birthday dinner a couple days later. He said he found a really cool bar that we should go to before dinner and the whole night he was worried we would be late for our "bar reservation". I had never heard of that but thought maybe it was a New York thing. So we get to the "rooftop bar" and no one was there. The "waiter" starts taking us to our seats and we step out on this beautiful scene of rose petals and candles and hanging lights and romantic phrases, all leading to a sign saying "God Gave Me You, Will You Marry Me?". Needless to say, I said yes!
