We met our freshman year of high school in science class and that's how we knew we had great chemistry. We dated on and off throughout high school but by senior year we knew we were meant to be. The first dance we went to I wasn't his date but after seeing those dance moves I knew I wanted him to be my date to the next one for sure. After graduation we decided we hated being apart, so we got our first little apartment together and we had never been so excited to use our vacuum for the first time. We have loved and cherished each other since we were teenagers no matter the ups and downs we had gone through and we will continue to do so forever.
This story that we will remember for the rest of our lives started on a plane. In August of 2022 we took a trip to Costa Rica, one of the most beautiful places we had ever been. Before this trip I was on pintrest and came across this funny post describing the 12 steps to proposing, so I read the list to Tim and he thought I was crazy. He said "How is there 12 steps to proposing, there should only be three." We laughed and joked about this all the time. Then came August fourth, we were in this restaurant called Fuegos with the most beautiful views. We were sitting, waiting for our food and enjoying our drinks when he looked at me and said, "So how many steps did you say there were to proposing?" So of course with our joke I said 12. After that he said "No there's only three. Step one, standup; step two, get down on one knee; and three, ask you to be my wife." I cried and I laughed and of course I said yes. I couldn't believe that it had happened. I was mind blown, and little did he know before the trip, I had bought him a StarWars wedding band because I knew I wanted him to be mine forever and I'm so happy he felt the same. Costa Rica will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we will return to relive all of those amazing memories one day.
