We remember crossing paths between elementary school classes and recess breaks. We moved through all of elementary school then middle school occasionally finding ourselves within the same social circles. When we finally made it to the big leagues, A.K.A High School, we found ourselves further and further on fate's path for us both. As we began our Junior year of High School our bond continued to grow, enhanced with nerves as a result of the upcoming Junior Prom (the perfect ice breaker). One Friday night, after a home basketball game, Mikayla convinced Buck to binge watch the Harry Potter series with her (he had told a convincing white lie, saying he'd never seen them before) and the rest is history.

Buck popped the question at our high school picnic spot, which we penned "the Beehive." This location out in the countryside became a sentimental spot for us as many memories were made here. He also brought our love story full circle by leading up to the proposal with a "scavenger hunt" just like how he delivered his "promposal" when we became an official couple.
