Forever began with a wave

At the end of Summer of 2014. It was such a beautiful day, I was sitting at a table just waiting to take Carter (my dog) out on the beach when I saw this very cute guy on the other side of the bar. And I thought to myself, how can I get him to come over and talk to me... well my eyes got a little carried away and I just kept staring until finally he waved. I signaled him over and we hit it off; It was like the world had stopped and it was just us two. And day that made for 3 dogs, one house, two hearts, 5 years and counting

On Saturday, I was getting ready for my friends birthday brunch and we were running late (as per usual). Sean needed to make a stop to pick up a tool from a friend, he was at the St. Michael's church in downtown Charleston. We make our “quick” stop and he invited us in to see the view from the steeple. Without hesitation, I said “No, we are running late and I’m hungry”, he pleaded and I gave in “okay, 5 minutes.” We walked through the church he gave us a quick tour and history lesson. We climbed all the way up, never expecting what happened next. We took a picture or two, taking in the amazing view. Then Sean holds my hand and reaches for his back pocket, gets down on one knee and says “Cassandra Rodriguez, will you marry me?!” In all of my crying I was still able to say “YES!” We celebrated all day with family and friends. He surprised me in a way I never knew was possible.
