We met in front of my dads church. Richard had just moved to town and I was standing out front with a few of my friends making a movie on iMovie (we were in middle school, stop laughing). All of a sudden we see a guy riding by on a bike that we didn't recognize. We lived in a small town and I lived there my whole life so everybody knew everybody. My one friend called him over to see who it was. He came over and we talked and exchanged each others social medias. It was a week before my birthday so I invited him to come to my party (he didn't come). But, from that day forward we were best friends. We hung out with some of our other friends from town every chance we got and loved taking walks to the Yough Twister to get ice cream. We were almost inseparable for the next two years, which is where our love story began.
We found out we were expecting our sweet boy the end of 2021. I badgered Richard day in and day out for this ring. "How does our kid get your last name in 9 months and I don't have it after almost 5 years?" June 26th we had a baby shower for our baby boy. We're going through and opening all of the thoughtful gifts we received and got down to the last one. A small, white bag. It gets handed to Richard where he opens it up, pulls out the most gorgeous ring, gets down on one knee and asks me to spend the rest of our lives together. I of course said YES!!! We are so excited to start this new journey as husband and wife and cannot thank anyone enough for coming along for our journey. Lots of love, Hannah & Richard
