We're getting married!

We met thanks to technology! Chris messaged me on a dating app for several weeks, continually asking if I would go out on a date with him. I kept pushing him off and then finally decided to take the leap and "just get this over with so he would stop bothering me". Little did I know I would actually like him... A LOT! We had the best time on our first date, bouncing around Charlotte. The next day I drove to his hometown for a "lake day" with all of his friends. We hit it off and the rest is history!

Chris had always told me he wouldn't propose on a holiday. I knew he had the ring, but assumed any holiday was out of the question. 4th of July came, and Chris mentioned going to a friends house for a cook out. When we arrived, we greeted all of our friends and then I went to the restroom. When I came out, all of the friends were gone. Chris mentioned they were all up at the barn hanging out before we ate dinner, so we headed up there as well. As we got closer, I didn't see anyone and started to get suspicious. There were balloons, candles, decorations... what was going on? As I turned around to ask Chris what was up, he was down on one knee! All of our friends got to be there to watch, our families were on video calls watching, and he even hired a photographer to capture our special moment! It was the perfect surprise!
