We met through a mutual friend our Senior year in High School. I was asked to go on a senior trip and Matt didn't want me to go on the trip only knowing 1 person. He reached out to me through Facebook Messenger and the rest is history.

As all of you know, this date has been a long time coming. It was a beautiful spring day, meaning it was a park day. We were finishing up walking at Glenwood Gardens and Lauren suggested that we sit at the gazebo at the end of the walk and let Ryker out of his stroller, which was my mischievous plan all along. We let Ryker out of his stroller and I told Lauren to take off Ryker's jacket because it was starting to get hot. As soon as Lauren took off Ryker's jacket, a shirt saying, "Mommy, will you marry my Daddy?" became visible. There was no hesitation.
