We met through mutual friends at a party sophomore year of college at Rick's apartment. After meeting that night we exchanged numbers and started seeing each other regularly. That semester we became close friends before I went to study abroad in Australia. After a semester away, we decided to start dating on 12.20.12
The two of us were on vacation in Fort Lauderdale, FL. We were spending the day at the beach when Rick kept asking me to go for a walk. After some convincing, I agreed to the walk not knowing it was driving him crazy how long it was taking me to put down my book. I was absolutely shocked when Rick got down on one knee and we spent the rest of our trip celebrating our engagement! Since then it's impossible for us to be at a beach without thinking about this special day <3
