Long story short: we met in law school. Long story long: we both knew the other existed because we shared a few classes our first year of school, but we weren't formally introduced until our respective friends dragged us to the same social event at the end of our second year. We met, were placed on the same team for the game portion of the day (read: flip cup), and then left the event separately without thinking anything of it. Two weeks later, at a school sponsored happy hour, (are you sensing a trend?) we started talking. Despite protests from her friends, Anna asked for Rob's number. After some reassurance from his, Rob texted Anna the next morning. We haven't stopped talking since.

Rob planned a beautiful proposal in a park by our house in Charlotte. He planned on proposing at sunset, while we were taking our dog for a walk, so that our "entire family" could be together when it happened. Unbeknownst to Rob, Anna had a work dinner that night. Even though he told her to "be home by seven," she was not home by seven. She was home at 8:30, and it was completely dark outside. It also turns out the park in which he planned on proposing had zero lights. Things were not going as planned. Ultimately, after a lot of pacing, backtracking, and searching for a good alternative location, Rob proposed to Anna under the one, lone streetlight in the park.
