Dan and I had always talked about waiting until I finished school before getting engaged, so shocked doesn’t even begin to cover how I felt. I came home for the weekend, and Dan suggested we go apple picking, one of my favorite fall traditions. As we walked through the orchard, chatting, I couldn’t figure out why he seemed a little off. When I joked that it felt like he was about to propose, he suddenly dropped to one knee. I honestly thought he was teasing me…and I actually told him to stand up. I didn't believe it until I looked up and spotted a photographer hiding nearby. That’s when it finally hit me that he was actually proposing, and needless to say, he did a great job :). Now we’re finally getting married, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you.
