" We met working at Lifeway Christian Bookstore. I remember when this tall, handsome blonde walked in with his sweet, yet very confident attitude. I went home to my Mom that day and told her I was going to marry this guy. I'm pretty sure she thought I had lost my mind. Not long after Garrett started working there, we began hanging out multiple times a week, going on long walks after work in downtown Fredericksburg. It may have taking some convincing, but after a few months Garrett asked me on a date."

We went on a nice day trip to Bald Head Island. Garrett had the most perfect day planned out but what he didn't plan was how soaked we would get on the ferry ride over there. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure of the original plan, but after getting off the ferry soaking wet, we hopped on a golf cart and headed over to a local beach access. We sat there on benches for a while trying to dry off. Me not thinking anything of it, Garrett looks over and asked if I would like a present. He had said this many times in the past few months so I though it may as well have been a wet sock. I was shocked when I looked over and he had pulled out a ring and was asking me to marry him. After some sweet mushy words and a few tears, I made the easiest yes of my life.
