We're Getting Married!

We met in art class during Travis's senior year and my junior year of high school. I stared at him from across the room most of that semester. We reconnected at the beginning of 2019 and decided to go to one of my favorite places in the world for our first date, the Cleveland Museum of Art. We spent hours together drinking coffee and talking about art and life. I didn't know how fast I could fall in love until that day, and now the rest is history.

After nearly 2 months of eagerly waiting, the ring had finally been made. I received the call from the designer and within the hour I had it in my possession. I made it back to our apartment while Payton was in class, I had run this scenario through my head over and over, I was going to ask her at the Cleveland Museum of Art, her favorite place, and our first date, but my excitement got the better of me. She made it home and I rushed towards her. Somehow I managed to stumble through my words and then proceeded to get down on one knee. She didn't even get a chance to step off the welcome mat.
