The day we got engaged! I (Rachel) was on my way home from a study abroad trip in Italy. During my trip Tanner had been dropping hints that the engagement would be coming soon. He was basically telling me it would happen on our anniversary (July 4th). On the plane ride home all Tanner kept texting was these sweet messages. So I knew something was going on, because Tanner never ever sends sweet messages like this, either he had done something wrong or he had something up his sleeve. Well he had something up his sleeve. When I go off the plane of course I quickly gave him, my Mom, and Dad a hug. Tanner kept wanting me to turn around and of course I didn't want to. Finally I did and now the rest is history!
