Round Two

January 4, 2017

We're sure that most of you know that we have a long history. We first began dating during our junior year of high school and parted ways a few years later. Eight years passed before we reconnected. A simple dinner to 'catch up' turned into four hours of effortless conversation and a rekindled romance. Now, whenever someone new asks us how we met, we playfully explain our relationship in terms of "Round One" and "Round Two".

The Proposal

May 24, 2018

At the beginning of the year, I started planning a vacation to Miami; little did I know, Justin was planning a proposal. In Miami, Florida on Thursday, May 24th, Justin popped the question while we were in the ocean (he's a risk-taker). I had no idea what was going on, I couldn't tell he was on one knee, and I didn't believe him until I saw the ring. I said yes.....eventually. It wasn't until much later that day that we realized I hadn't actually said the word "yes", but the ring on my finger and the smile on my face proved it was implied.

For all the days along the way
