The little local grocery store where Benjamin worked in high school is where is all started. I was in browsing for cookies when I saw him for the first time and I knew there was something so special about him. After months of cheesy pick up lines by me, he finally asked for my number and two weeks later we went out on our first date. The rest is history.

We went on a picnic at a park in Dayton and there we had some of our favorite snacks and long conversations about life and how the summer was coming to a close. On our way back to the car he took me a different way than we had come in, when we turned the corner I saw rose petals and candles on the ground under an archway. Ben got a giant smile on his face and took me over there, told me all the reasons he wants to marry me, and then got down on one knee and asked me to be his future wife. Best moment ever.
