Dylan and I both knew of each other in college. We both went to Jacksonville University. He was a junior when I was a freshman. He played baseball for JU, and I was in a sorority. We both were in relationships with other people throughout college. We had encountered each other a few times while at college, and after he graduated. We were both on a dating site and stumbled upon each others profiles. We both swiped right, and the flirting began! We decided to meet at a bar with a few friends. We danced and we talked, but the timing wasn’t right for us at the time. A few months later we locked eyes while out with some friends again. We both felt the connection was too intense to ignore, and finally decided to take timing into our own hands. Not too long after, he invited me to his sister’s wedding to meet his entire family! Shortly after the wedding, we both decided to give this a shot and dylan moved from orlando to Jacksonville. Finally timing was on our side!
We were headed to orlando for the Backstreet Boys DNA tour concert. That night we were going to his parent’s house to have dinner. We stayed in the house for a while talking and then decided to move everything outside, since it was a nice night out, to sit by the fire pit. Everything underneath the pergola by the firepit had been cleared out. I was walking towards the fire pit when Dylan turned me around, took my glass and started to say something to me. Two years prior, Dylan had asked me to go to his sister’s wedding as his date. It was here, at his parents house, where I met his entire family after only a few weeks. He looked me in the eyes and said that two years ago he asked me to be his wedding date and brought me to his parents house, and now he had another question for me today. He then got down on one knee, pulled out the ring, and asked me to marry him!!
