We’re Getting Married!

Our story begins in the summer of 2011. Both of us had just gotten out of school. I was living with friends at the time in Indiana when Kyle and his friend Dj came from New York to visit a friend. (That friend ended up being one of my roommates!) We hung out together that short weekend and once it was time for him to go I was crushed. I definitely didn’t want it to be the last time I saw him, because we loved each other’s company and there was such a strong connection. The day after he left I asked my roommate for his number and we’ve talked to each other every day after that weekend!

Every year we alternate between our two families for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Christmas 2018 we spent in Indiana with my family. After we open presents at my parent’s house we go over to my grandparent’s house to open presents there. We open presents, eat food, and then it’s time to take the family pictures. Once it was our family’s turn everyone gathers and he gets down on one knee by the Christmas tree and asks if I’ll marry him. I cried for probably five minutes before answering and of course I said “YES!” with an added “ABOUT TIME.”
