It started in the 7th grade when I caught a glimpse of her as I was walking past one of the classrooms. Immediately I fell in love. Though we never really talked that year or even interacted much for that matter I was still very much infatuated with her. The next year, we had one class together and started to talk, the more we talked the more I fell in love and the more I knew that wanted to spend every moment I could with her. We struck up a friendship and as time progressed I began to get more and more excited to learn more about her.

On our anniversary we traveled to Natchez to spend the afternoon and just get away from everything. As the sun was setting we went went to a park close by a large church. I wasn’t the best at hiding things but that did little to effect the joy of the moment. I knelt down and grabbed a bible with a rose between its pages from my bag and asked if she’d make me the happiest man in the world and marry me (cliche I know) but before I could finish her arms were around me and I had was grinning with a stupidly large smile. I’m sure you know the rest. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you.
