we're eloping

About 20 minutes south of Leadville, Colorado on April 28th, Benji proposed on the shore of Twin Lakes. We had just celebrated three years of dating. We have been through the transition from high school to college, we've navigated long-distance, we've learned how to love each other during our college experiences, we've grown toward each other with the Lord as a guiding force and foundation faithfully allowing us to grow this relationship. We had visited this very spot in Twin Lakes one year prior to the proposal, and he took me back and popped the question. I had no idea it was about to happen, until 10 seconds prior to the proposal when he turned around and I spotted the ring box in his back pocket. Surprised and sincerely shocked, I said the easiest yes I ever given to anyone in my life. We are set to get married on June 5, 2021, at Northside Baptist Church in an intimate ceremony with only immediate family present. We are so excited to elope and begin a new chapter of marriage together!
