We took art class together during Craig's senior year of high school. After almost the full year, Craig decided to come sit at our table during class, and we have been inseparable since.
To celebrate 4 years of dating, we had planned a spring picnic at Savage Gulf State Park, where we had hiked during one of our first dates. It's a trail that we have frequented throughout our relationship for a pretty hike. The weather was unseasonably cold and rainy, and because we had planned on having dinner at a nice restaurant in Nashville afterwards, I was in a dress and sandals and wanted to cancel the picnic. Craig pushed that we tough it out. When we got there, photos of us throughout our relationship were hung from trees lining the path, and I knew why he had been so insistent on going. Craig proposed at the top of the overlook at the end of the hiking trail and just like that, we were engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in June!
