We met at the start of EMT school, and got to know each other at a get together at Lucas’ house. He was playing his guitar and we harmonized by accident. That’s pretty much when we thought, "Okay. This could be something." We started a band, became best friends, and fell in love.

Throughout our friendship, we both knew two things. We love music, and we love adventure. Living in the Florida heat year-round, our ideal vacation has always been somewhere cold. So Lucas took me snowboarding in Canada and we spent the entire week up on the mountain, only getting off to fuel up on coffee and snacks. My favorite snack being gummy bears. It was a snowy day with fresh powder and after we got about halfway down, we stopped to rest on the side of the slopes near the tree line. We were both exhausted and he asked me if I wanted a gummy bear, to which I remember saying “gummy please”. I waited patiently, wondering why he awkwardly flipped over from sitting on his butt to his knees (all the while both his feet were still attached to the board.) He pulled out a gummy bear, and right as I went to eat it, he opened up a little box. I cried, we cried, and I’ll never forget that moment for the rest of my life. We can’t wait to get married to my best friend in front of all our family and friends! See y’all by the beach!
