We have known each other for a long time--since middle school! We started dating at a New Year's eve party our Junior year of high school. At the end of senior year, we decided to see what directions life would take us during college. Through everything, life always led back to each other.
Every year for my birthday (October 11), we would go to a pumpkin patch. Picking and carving the biggest pumpkin I could find has always been a favorite fall activity of mine. In keeping with tradition, Nicholas took me to our favorite pumpkin patch. We grabbed some apple cider and walked around, though he was rushing me a little bit and I didn't understand why! When we got out to the patch, he stood next to a pumpkin and began his speech. I couldn't have asked for a better place and fiance!!
We can't wait to celebrate our love with our friends and family on October 24, 2021!
