In the Summer of 2007, we met by total chance at Magic Mountain in Polaris. Alex was there that day with his best friend Kyle along with a church youth group while Casey was there with two friends from her elementary school. We were waiting in line for the go-karts when we first noticed each other. Alex complimented Casey's Vera Bradley backpack and the rest was history. We left that day with only AIM usernames to rely on for communication. Coincidentally, we happened to be in the same school district so we had the privilege of seeing each other at school sporting events as well as open skate at the local indoor ice rink. We upgraded from instant messenger to phone calls almost every night. As time went on, we were getting settled into our rival high schools & very important dances began to occur. Prom was right around the corner, both Alex and Casey couldn't imagine going with anyone else so Alex asked Casey to his prom and vice versa. The proposal- Started off the best day ever at our favorite breakfast spot, First Watch. Followed by church at Five14 and a tour of some new potential appartments. Then came the ever so "hyped" walk downtown. Once we came up on our sentimental bench by the Scioto river (where we used to visit often in high school), there were flowers. This led to the best moment of our lives. Our families and friends celebrated with us after, rounding out the perfect proposal! :-)
