Once upon an online profile, I saw a hot guy with a beard on a motorcycle. I messaged him immediately. After a month or two of chatting back and forth, we decided to meet up with a group of friends and all go to the Renaissance Festival. At the last minute all the friends bailed. But Adam offered to make the trip up from Columbia to go with me. We had a fun day and stayed until the festival closed. Before leaving to head back to Columbia, Adam just went for it and gave me a smooch!

It was my weekend to visit Adam in Columbia. And the closer the weekend got, the more excited Adam became. When I showed up at his front door he about tackled me with the biggest hug. He was so giddy I knew something was up. At the end of the weekend while saying goodbye at the car, he sent me off with our first "I love you."

Somehow Adam talked me into a 4-day camping trip to Lake Juniper with a bunch of friends. I didn't really do camping (or anything remotely outdoorsy), but I knew I had to tough it out since this was a favorite hobby of his. I was worried putting me in the woods wouldn't go well, he'd see I couldn't hang, and we'd be over. But Adam thought of everything, packed all essentials, made us fires and food. He did all he could think of to make sure I had a good first camping experience. We had a blast canoeing and exploring, and on a canoe trip back across the lake it hit me...I want to go everywhere with him forever.

Well....at dinner with my dad one night, he accidentally let it slip that Adam had asked for my hand. (He thought we were already engaged!) So I knew a proposal was coming but couldn't say anything to anyone since I knew Adam wanted it to be a surprise. So for a month and half I pretended to know nothing! When Adam suggested a weekend in Asheville (my favorite city) I took a wild guess that he might propose there. Adam did have one surprise I didn't know about though...he booked us a steampunk-styled suite! That night, on the deck facing the mountains, he asked if I wanted to make it forever. I shouted just a little too soon, "YES!" And we were engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Vegas!
