After meeting through a mutual friend it wasn't long before we became best friends ourselves. We talked day and night and the conversations were endless. After 6 months of talking, Melissa moved to North Dakota and the relationship quickly grew from there.

On a summer vacation to the Black Hills in South Dakota we had planned a hike for our first day. We were 3 miles in to our 4 mile hike when Orion got down on one knee to propose. We may be biased but the Sunday Gulch Trail in Custer State Park was the most beautiful hike we have ever been on.
