This is a story of two friends falling in love. Or perhaps, more honestly, a story of one love struck girl and a guy who decided to give her a chance and both ending up surprised with what they found! We met at our church in August 2016 while we were both students at the University of Georgia. After many fun times as friends studying late, playing games, cooking food, and after a bit of growing up, our feelings for each other finally fell in sync and here we are now.

It was a drizzly Sunday afternoon, and we decided to go hiking to one of our favorite spots at the University of Georgia State Botanical Gardens. After taking a short path off the main trail to a rock overlooking the river where we had ventured our first week of dating, he pulled out the ring and asked me to marry him. I kissed him and then remembered to actually say the word "yes"!
