We're getting married!!

We first met in the dog park at the good ole Midtown 501 apartments. We like to think Sally and Scout really brought us together. Most evenings we would get together to talk and play with the dogs in the company of one another. Things started getting serious in April of 2018, right around when Morgan was moving out of her apartment (great timing). Then one night in June, Russell made Morgan his now-famous rack of lamb dinner and asked her to be his girlfriend. From there it was history!

There was much anticipation of this day from Morgan. The morning started out unassuming, until Russell suggested we go on a hike that day at Occoneechee Mountain in Hillsborough. Morgan thought this was it! The hike where everything would happen. We loaded up the dogs and headed on our way. She was sorely disappointed by the end of the walk when nothing 'special' had happened. Little did she know, Russell had planned all of this out just to surprise her later. Once Morgan woke up from her nap that Russell insisted she take, Russell announced that we were headed to the property, the car was packed and we were ready to go. Morgan was half asleep, so we got the dogs together and headed that way. That was the first time we were at the property in the evening hours and the sun setting was beautiful to see. We played with the dogs per usual when we went there and then out of nowhere Russell got down on one knee and proposed!! Morgan was shocked and he sweetened the surprise by bringing a magnolia tree to plant on the property to be there forever and grow with our love for one another. <3
