We were teenagers working at the local waterpark. Even though we both had crushes on each other, he turned me down and we moved on as friends. After staying in touch for a few years, many events and stories, and some gentle nodding from the Lord, we realized we were and always will be "The Dream Team" and finally got together!

I had to always be ten steps ahead! I was so nervous that I had to take a moment and just looked at the ring in the airport restroom to compose myself. She had a headache and I was trying not to panic so our photographers - secretly following us - could get all the pictures they could at Garden of the Gods. When we got to Pikes Peak, she almost turned back from the cold! She noticed the photographers but dismissed them as bystanders taking pictures of the mountain landscape. Despite all the challenges, she said yes!
