James had met with my mom and planned to propose at our family pictures happening within the next few weeks. He had faked car troubles (knowing I wouldn't question a thing) to ask my dad for his permission. Friday December 14th 2018, I woke up and cooked breakfast for us both before we had our pictures. He didn't eat a single bite. We made it down the lake for our pictures and after many poses and different shots, the photographer asked for one last photo of just the two of us. All I heard was "you know I love you, right?" and turned to see him down on one knee! My two wishes when getting engaged were to have my family present and to have photos of the moment it happened. He went above and beyond to make this day so very special and exactly one year from our engagement we will say "I Do" and "YES" to forever!
