After Jason and I connected on Match.com, the above question caught me off guard as his idea for our first date. "Who does that?" I thought. And why would I ever want to do that? I hate the cold and the snow and I didn't even own snow pants! But the conversations that we had leading up to our first date convinced me he was worth it to try something new. And I am so happy I did! While the first date didn't go as planned because the icy conditions made it impossible to build any snowmen, the night ended with our first kiss. From that moment, we have been inseparable. Since that time, we've introduced each other to new experiences. Things like Jason taking me on my first ever international trip to sailing on the Boston Harbor to our first CountryFest together to being introduced to each other's families. We realized we shared similar values and life goals which helped our relationship grow stronger... We began falling in love. After almost three amazing years together, we returned to the snow for a family trip to a lake in Maine. But this time, Jason asked me an even better question: "Will you marry me?" You could argue it was due to how cold it was outside, but of course I said yes immediately...once my initial shock wore off. "This is it. I am going to marry my best friend" I thought. I couldn't have been happier. And here we are now. We are so excited for this special time in our lives and in being able to share it surrounded by the ones we love. We can't wait to finally make it official and celebrate with all of you!
