We met in our senior year of high school. Stephan's brother, Marcel started dragging him along to hang out with my friend group and we became friends. I asked Stephan to tutor me in physics and we became closer. He finally asked me out on a date and now here we are almost 9 years later. We wouldn't want it any other way.

On November 26, Stephan and I went to get our Christmas tree. We went to a local "cut your own" farm and cut down our tree in the rain. Then, we went out to dinner at a pub and headed back to our apartment. We were playing Christmas music and decorating the tree, when he started talking about our future and how decorating and cutting down our Christmas tree could be a special tradition for us. Next thing I know, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was the easiest YES I ever said.
