Our story began at Walmart in Minnesota. We were both starting our first jobs. After working together in the same department throughout four years, we quickly became best friends. We both knew it was only a matter of time until we would end up with each other. The rest is history!
On the morning of August 7th, we learned of a hurricane heading for Charleston. After multiple months of planning the proposal location and for my mother and Holly's parents to fly in we needed a new plan. Due to flooding, a neighbor's house burning down, and multiple other complications we wound up at a neighborhood park. I had the parents drive to the park and get set up while I took Holly on a wild goose chase looking for an open house that didn't exist to kill time. We eventually stopped at the park because I "spotted an alligator I wanted to see." When she wasn't looking the parents came out of hiding and I got down on a knee and asked my best friend to marry me. Since you are all reading this, she clearly said yes!
