Nick and I have known each other most of our lives having gone through elementary and middle school together. But it wasn’t until my Senior year and his Junior year of high school in 2015 that we got to know each other. We had two classes together and became friends/started talking through mutual friends. Which led to us playing Trivia Crack every day after school on our phones. In late April/early May we began talking more frequently and finally admitted we had feelings for each other. He asked me out on a date and on May 9, 2015, we went hiking together at Hook Mountain and that was the beginning of us. Fast forward 8 years later to May 5, 2023, we were enjoying a celebration of our anniversary. Nick planned an incredible afternoon where we had lunch followed by a hike on Hook Mountain where our first date was 8 years ago. To my surprise, when we made it to the top there was a beautiful picnic proposal set up by our sisters. Through lots of tears, it was the easiest yes of my life. I am so thrilled to spend the rest of my life with this man and celebrate our love with our friends and family at the same place we went to his prom together in 2016!
