Russell and I met a couple years ago through friends . What we didn’t know was that we would eventually become more than friends. Russell and I hung out almost EVERY weekend with all of our close friends until one day Russell decided to text me and ask me out on a date. We went out for drinks and music and since that day we have been inseparable.

How the proposal happened ... We where on a week long cruise with all of our closest friends and family. We boarded the ship on a Saturday may 25th and the proposal happened that next day at dinner May 26th. Rewind to the morning of the 26th I woke up super early to take towels down to save ALL of our 14 chairs at the pool for the day. I waited and waited and waited for people to meet me down there to get in the pool and enjoy our first day at sea however it was very odd that everyone seemed to be distant from me this day I would text my mom and misty and they would come down to hang out with me and then suddenly disappear with Russell again. Come to find out they weren’t ignoring me they where all just keeping a HUGE secret and meeting with the cruise director behind my back. Fast forward to dinner that night I’m welcomed at dinner with a bottle of wine we then ate dinner and as we finished the cruise director came to our table to explain to us that our table had been selected for a free photo. We then take a group photo and then begin taking couples photos that started with me and russell as I’m smiling for a picture russell then drops to his knee and he asked me to marry him !! It was by far the best day of my life !
