We were acquaintances 20 years ago. After all that time and what felt like many lives later, we reconnected on social media and began a long distance relationship with me living in Texas, and Will living in Arizona. Regardless of the distance, we forged a strong friendship and a beautiful love story began!

While dining at Kenny’s Italian Restaurant, I playfully posed the question to Will, “Do you love me?”, and that apparently was the perfect prompt/opportunity for him to get down on one knee and ask me to marry him! I’m sure there was more said, but in that moment, all I heard was “I love you…will you marry me?!” And of course, my answer was YES!
