We met through mutual classmates, and a few weeks later sat near each other at a jazz concert. A couple of days after the concert, he texted me and we've been inseparable ever since! Our first official date was at Portside Grill, a seafood restaurant near the river. We were both so shy we could barely make eye contact.

Garrett invited me to watch the sunset on top of a parking garage in downtown Gainesville that we went to frequently as students. Unfortunately, the top level of the parking garage was under construction and drenched in a layer of fresh cement. He proposed to me on the lower floor near a window. We laughed, cried, and had the sunset as our witness. It was comically perfect.
