Chris and I met when we were 10 years old. My family bought land beside of his family to build our home. We've known each other for over half of our lives so we have so many great stories to tell. We started to like each other once we became teenagers. I can remember the many nights we thought we would be slick and he would spend the night "with my brother". Apparently my dad was smarter than us at 15 because I had to sleep with him when Chris stayed over. LOL! We spent a lot of time together as we got older, we were also each others first date. Unfortunately, shortly after, I moved back to my moms and we lost contact for several years. In 2015, we met up again and haven't slowed down since.

We were at the beach on summer vacation with our friends. One of the days, the guys decided to have a "guys day out" and the girls would spend the day together. It was cloudy and raining for most of the day so I didn't think much of it. The men went to eat "Oysters" (actually ring shopping) , while the women spent the day shopping. That night, we decided we would go to Murrells Inlet for dinner. After dinner, we walked around the shops and down the pier. While on the pier, we stopped for a break and this is when Chris asked me to marry him. It was perfect, at the beach with our children and some of our bestfriends.
