Thank you for celebrating this momentous day with us. We love you all.

We met through mutual friends. Two of our best friends got married to each other and then they introduced us. Sloan was living in South Dakota at the time and I was living in Kansas so we both thought there was no way something would come of the introduction. We talked on social media for a while getting to know each other and when we finally met, sparks flew! Soon after we were making long distance phone calls, spontaneous spring break trips to see each other, and falling in love.

We went on vacation to South Carolina together to visit Sloan's mom. Before we left, I had made some not so subtle hints about needing to get my nails done just in case any important pictures of my hands were needed on the trip. He led me to believe that he was not going to be popping the question during this vacation and I naively believed him! During the weekend his mom, him and I went to Myrtle Beach to swim in the ocean. They were scheming a little and surprised me on the beach with a romantic proposal. (Thank goodness I still got those nails done!) As I was turning away from the ocean and back towards Sloan he was down on one knee. A beautiful day at the beach turned into one of the most memorable moments of our lives!
