Senior year at Florida State became one of the most memorable years of our lives. After going basically all of college without truly getting to know one another, Noah decided to be the first to hopefully create a spark. Needing a date for formal, he turned to Taylor, Lana's best friend, for advice on who he should bring. He told Tay, "I want a date who is fun.... and short." She goes, "Why don't you invite Lana?" The rest? History.

The feelings felt in New Orleans quickly came back to Tallahassee and continued past graduation in South Florida. A few months later, Noah got an amazing job opportunity in Dothan, Alabama as a Sports Reporter, while Lana started to pursue her dream of becoming a Physician Assistant in Miami. We both accepted an abnormal transition, motivating each other from afar, which in turn, made our relationship even stronger.

Once the sun popped out on a rainy day in Delray, Noah popped the question. Lana was a bit suspicious, but the proposal happened flawlessly under a pavilion as the sun was starting to set. The true beginning to a beautiful life together, forever.
