How We Met

We met for the first time at our friend's Tyler & Chelsea's wedding where we were set to walk down the aisle together. I left the reception with the other bridesmaids and when I came back they were picking up, I asked the rest of the bridal party if they wanted to go over to hooters for a late night snack. We headed over where we talked a little more and then I gave Jake my snap chat (yeah I made the first move). After a week of Snapchatting he finally got my number and we decided it was time to hang out. From there we got closer everyday, finally moving in together in our first home and finally getting engaged!

Engagement

We had both been talking about how we wanted to visit Nashville, we finally got our group of friends together and made it happen. When we got to Nashville we met up with everyone, had lunch and did a bit of shopping. We went back to the hotel to get ready for the night and then walked over to Centennial Park for pictures. Everyone was getting their couple pictures and when it was time for Jake and I to take ours I noticed his breathing was very fast. After a few takes and me screaming at Sammy for "fixing my hair" I turned around to Jake down on one knee. So excited I started crying and absolutely said YES!
