Brian got down on one knee on the Appalachain Trail at Clingman’s Dome, after we watched the sunrise from the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
We met in college in the summer of 2016, while Brian was working as an RA, and Mariam was finishing up her first semester of nursing school. Some of our most memorable moments from that summer included on-campus coffee meetups, Pixar movie marathons, walking around campus playing Pokémon GO, and midnight sushi dates at Surin of Thailand.
